To find a Spanish rose and settle down
You hitched a ride on a southbound Mexican wind
Adios, old friend
I heard you made it far as El Paso
Those Texas Rangers would not let it go
They tracked you down on the banks of the Rio Grande
Adios, old friend
Do angels sing for outlaws, I don't know
I know outlaws pray
And I pray it's so, old friend
Outside these bars, I hear that mission bell
That hangman waits to send me straight to Hell
Oh, this ain't where I thought our trail would end
Adios, old friend
Do angels sing for outlaws, I don't know
I know outlaws pray
And I pray it's so, old friend
Maybe we'll one day ride again
Adios, old friend
Adios, old friend
You were headed for some border town To find a Spanish rose and settle down You hitched a ride on a southbound Mexican wind Adios, old friend I heard you made it far as El Paso Those Texas Rangers would not let it go They tracked you down on the banks of the Rio Grande Adios, old friend Do angels sing for outlaws, I don't know I know outlaws pray And I pray it's so, old friend Outside these bars, I hear that mission bell That hangman waits to send me straight to Hell Oh, this ain't where I thought our trail would end Adios, old friend Do angels sing for outlaws, I don't know I know outlaws pray And I pray it's so, old friend Maybe we'll one day ride again Adios, old friend Adios, old friend Explain Request ×
