Intro: G Bm Em D G


        G
She's a rambler, She's a gambler, She won't ever let ya have her
         Bm
She's an angel, She's the devil, She's always on the level 
          Em
Don't you try to run with her, She'll just leave you in the dirt
         D
Like she has so many men before

       G
He's a sinner, he's a splinter, he's colder than the winter
       Bm
He's a loner, He's a rebel, He's best friends with the devil
          Em
And He'll walk this earth a lone, He'll never find a home
      D
He'll find ya, he'll fool ya and he'll go


         G
I'd been walkin' damn near all day, when he pulled off of the freeway
      Bm
And I got in without question, cuz I've always known I'd die young
          Em
There was pistol on his lap, next to a briefcase full of cash
  D
I knew right then I had met my match


        G
She was walkin' down that highway, when I pulled up beside her
         Bm
And even though I didn't know her, I could tell she was a wild one
          Em
There was blood stains on her clothes, She said her name was Rose
    D
She shut the door, I hit the gas


Solo


  G
I asked her where she's goin', She said she didn't know
          Bm
So I kept drivin' through the night, and no one said a word more
    Em
And then I pulled her close, touched the blood stains on her clothes
       D
I said Mexico? She nodded yes


   G
We drove all through the night then, I woke up to sirens
    Bm
And shattered glass all on the dash, and he put that pistol in my hand
     Em
Said woman "shoot to kill, you know they surely will."
    D
I said hit the border baby, I'll do the rest



        G
We were shootin, We were swervin', and up ahead there was a curve
           Bm
And we was goin way too fast, We let off the gas
         Em
But that copper broke too slow, flew off the side of the road
          D
Next to a road sign said Juarez 20 miles


Solo


   G
We pulled into socorro, A small town across the border
       Bm
And we got out, laughed out loud, Celebration was in order
      Em
So we stepped inside a bar, had a toast under the stars
   D
To long hauls and closed calls


   G
We drank all through the night, tellin' stories neath the moon light
      Bm
And I looked at him and he looked at me and neither us believed in destiny 
      Em
So he took that case of cash, he split it right in half
  D
I took my share and walked away


        G
She's a rambler, She's a gambler, She won't ever let ya have her
       Bm
He's a sinner, he's splinter, He's colder then the winter
      Em
Don't try to run with her, She'll just leave you in the dirt
      D
He'll find ya, he'll fool ya and he'll go
