Killed by the law in Santa Fe
A bullet to his head
The blue in his eyes have turned to grey
Now Romeo's dead
On the floor with a Springfield in his hand
Chamber's all out
No one ever knew he had a plan
He was never in doubt
The devil called his name
Hey Rom! Come out and play
I'm sure we'll have a blast
Let's fly, let's forget about the past
Let's give 'em hell son
Don't you listen to the righteous one
Have you heard from Romeo?
Ever since Laredo
His name was on the radio
What have you done? Dear Romeo
Oh my my sweetness
In the ring of fire again
Somewhere in New Mexico
Where did you go? Dear Romeo
His Mama was a lady of the night
Lucy in the sky
On high heels she walked right into the light
Oh that sweet heroin high
His Daddy was a killer of men
They called him Gruesome Joe
He died in Louisiana State Pen
While awaitin' death row
The devil called his name
Hey Rom! Come out and play
I'm sure we'll have a blast
Let's fly, let's forget about the past
Let's give 'em hell son
Don't you listen to the righteous one
Have you heard from Romeo?
Ever since Laredo
His name was on the radio
What have you done? Dear Romeo
Oh my my sweetness
In the ring of fire again
Somewhere in New Mexico
Where did you go? Dear Romeo
You never wanted to do no one no harm
That's why you missed by a mile
Oh that name you got on your arm
I got word that'll make you smile
She's alive son
Now take my hand and let's get this done
I just wanted to know
Have you heard from Romeo?
Ever since Laredo
His name was on the radio
What have you done? My Romeo
Oh my my sweetness
In the ring of fire again
Somewhere in New Mexico
Where did you go? Dear Romeo
Have you heard from Romeo?
Ever since Laredo
His name was on the radio
What have you done? Dear Romeo
Oh my my sweetness
In the ring of fire again
Somewhere in New Mexico
Where did you go? My Romeo
Found him New Mexico
I took him home
Your Romeo
