Joe And Rosalita Lyrics - Phil Vassar - 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 

Seem 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, yeah 

Old Mr. Rosenblum 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, say 

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, here we go 

Rosalita is still a rose 

Now it's been 10 years for Rose and Joe 

Well now sometimes you seem 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, so 

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
