lyrics

Hoss was a Rapid City cowboy
He drove a big truck and went to the rodeo
Mama always said he was her favorite
He rarely got drunk and he almost never stole

Estella worked all day in the bakery
She sold empanadas and listened to the radio
Her brother Ramon picked her up at 6.30
Protecting his sister’s reputation was his goal

Where oh where is my true love?
Where oh where is my sign?
Where oh where is my justice?
The Lord is vengeful; He’ll cheat you and rob you blind

Ramon took Estella to the rodeo
She noticed the gringo with the big brown boots
Hoss walked over to sat hello
When she looked into his blue eyes she almost swooned

Hoss and Estella sere sitting in his truck
Listening to what George Jones said
Hoss was asking Estella out on a date
When Roman’s snuck up and put a .38 in Hoss’ head

<CHORUS>

Estella worked all day at the bakery
She had walked home cause now Roman’s in jail
Hoss was the only chance at love she’d have
She cries herself to sleep thinking that she’s failed

<CHORUS>
