Joe & Rosalita - Phil Vassar

Joe and rosalita, look’em up in the year book

Even then they had that wild-in-love crazy look

Joe’s car on friday night, after the ball game

Steam so thick on the windows

They could write their names

They’d fight like cats and dogs outside of homeroom

See’em hangin' all over each other that same afternoon

Joe and rosalita

Ball-cap, good-ole boy and brown-eyed senorita

Rocked this town like no one’s ever done

'round here they’re known as the legends of love

Old mr. rosenbaum kicked’em out of the senior prom

Busted for dirty dancin'

Sent him home and he called her mom

Pulled the old pillow trick, and they both snuck out

Showed up two days later still in a tux and a prom gown

Got married on the steps outside the courthouse

Called it the great escape, people still talk about it now

Joe and rosalita

Ball-cap, good-ole boy and brown-eyed senorita

Rocked this town like no one’s ever done

'round here they’re known as the legends of love

Rosalita is still a rose

Now it’s been 10 years for rose and joe

Now sometimes you see’em cruisin' down main street

Still got his arm around her, two kids in the backseat

They book a babysitter to go out on friday

Sometimes they never even make it out of the driveway

Joe and rosalita

Ball-cap, good-ole boy and brown-eyed senorita

Rocked this town like no one’s ever done

'round here they’re known as the legends of love
