20 Miles to Juarez (feat. Elizabeth Cook)

She's a rambler She's a gambler She won't ever Let ya have She's an angel She's the devil She's always on the level Don't you try to run with her She'll just leave you in the dirt Like she has so many men before He's a sinner A he's splinter He's colder then the winter He's a loner He's a rebel He's best friends with the devil He'll walk this earth a lone He'll never find a home He'll find ya he'll fool ya And he'll go I'd been walkin' damn near all day When he pulled off of the freeway And I got in without question I've cuz always known I'd die young there was Pistol on his lap Next to a briefcase Full of cash I knew right then that I Had net my match She was walkin' down that highway When I pulled up beside her And even though I didn't know her I could tell she was A wild one There was blood stains on her clothes She said her name was Rose She shut the door I hit the gas I asked her where she's goin' Sfe said she didn't know So I kept drivin' through the night And no one said a word more And then a pulled her close Touched the blood stains on her clothes I said Mexico She nodded yes We drove all through the night then I woke up to sirens and shattered glass All on the dash and he put that Pistol in my hand Said woman shoot to kill You know they surely will I said hit the border baby I'll do the rest We were shootin We were swervin' And uo ahead There was a curve and we was goin Way too fast We let off the gas But that copper Broke too slow Flew off the side Of the road next to a road sign that said Juarez twenty miles We pulled into socorro A small town across the border And we got out laughed out loud Celebratio was in order So we stepped inside a bar Hadr a toast under the stars To long hauls and closed calls We dank all through the night Tellin' stories neath the moon light And I looke at him and he looked at me And neither of us believed in destiny So he took that case of cash He split it right in half I took my share and walked away She's a rambler She's a gambler She won't ever let ya have her He's a sinner A he's splinter He's colder then the winter Don't you try to run with her She'll just leave you in the dirt He'll find ya he'll fool ya And he'll go
