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
