[Intro] 
G Bm Em D G
[Verse 1]
She's a Grambler, She's a gambler, She won't ever let ya have her
She's an Bmangel, She's the devil, She's always on the level 
Don't you Emtry to run with her, She'll just leave you in the dirt
Like she Dhas so many men before
[Verse 2]
He's a Gsinner, he's a splinter, he's colder than the winter
He's a Bmloner, He's a rebel, He's best friends with the devil
And He'll Emwalk this earth a lone, He'll never find a home
He'll Dfind ya, he'll fool ya and he'll go
[Verse 3]
I'd been Gwalkin' damn near all day, when he pulled off of the freeway
And I Bmgot in without question, cuz I've always known I'd die young
There was Empistol on his lap, next to a briefcase full of cash
I Dknew right then I had met my match
[Verse 4]
She was Gwalkin' down that highway, when I pulled up beside her
And even Bmthough I didn't know her, I could tell she was a wild one
There was Emblood stains on her clothes, She said her name was Rose
She Dshut the door, I hit the gas
[Solo]
[Verse 5]
I Gasked her where she's goin', She said she didn't know
So I kept Bmdrivin' through the night, and no one said a word more
And Emthen I pulled her close, touched the blood stains on her clothes
I said DMexico? She nodded yes
[Verse 6]
We Gdrove all through the night then, I woke up to sirens
And Bmshattered glass all on the dash, and he put that pistol in my hand
Said Emwoman "shoot to kill, you know they surely will."
I saDid hit the border baby, I'll do the rest
[Verse 7]
We were Gshootin, We were swervin', and up ahead there was a curve
And we was Bmgoin way too fast, We let off the gas
But that Emcopper broke too slow, flew off the side of the road
Next to a Droad sign said Juarez 20 miles
[Solo]
[Verse 8]
We Gpulled into socorro, A small town across the border
And we Bmgot out, laughed out loud, Celebration was in order
So we Emstepped inside a bar, had a toast under the stars
To Dlong hauls and close calls
[Verse 9]
We Gdrank all through the night, tellin' stories neath the moon light
And I Bmlooked at him and he looked at me and neither us believed in destiny 
So he Emtook that case of cash, he split it right in half
I Dtook my share and walked away
[Verse 10]
She's a Grambler, She's a gambler, She won't ever let ya have her
He's a Bmsinner, he's splinter, He's colder then the winter
Don't Emtry to run with her, She'll just leave you in the dirt
He'll Dfind ya, he'll fool ya and he'll go

[Intro]

G Bm Em D G

[Verse 1]

She's a rambler, She's a gambler, She won't ever let ya have her

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

[Verse 2]

He's a sinner, he's a splinter, he's colder than the winter

He's a loner, He's a rebel, He's best friends with the devil

And 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

[Verse 3]

I'd been walkin' damn near all day, when he pulled off of the freeway

And I got in without question, cuz I've always known I'd die young

There was pistol on his lap, next to a briefcase full of cash

I knew right then I had met my match

[Verse 4]

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

[Solo]

[Verse 5]

I asked her where she's goin', She said she didn't know

So I kept drivin' through the night, and no one said a word more

And then I pulled her close, touched the blood stains on her clothes

I said Mexico? She nodded yes

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

We were shootin, We were swervin', and up 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 said Juarez 20 miles

[Solo]

[Verse 8]

We pulled into socorro, A small town across the border

And we got out, laughed out loud, Celebration was in order

So we stepped inside a bar, had a toast under the stars

And I looked at him and he looked at me and neither us believed in destiny

[Verse 10]

She's a rambler, She's a gambler, She won't ever let ya have her

He's a sinner, he's splinter, He's colder then the winter

Don't 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
