Down in New Mexico heat
Paulita by the porch, pretty in white
Their eyes across the street
(La la la)
Young love burns bright, yearning inside
Maxwell's girl, she ain't free
But damn if she don't watch him ride by
(Oh oh oh)
Damn your outlaw heart, Billy
Breaking every rule
Damn your outlaw ways, Billy
Making her your fool
(La la la la la)
She's dancing with the devil tonight
(She's dancing, she's dancing)
She's dancing with the devil tonight
Blood on his hands, but gentle with her
Behind the barn at night
Promises and prayers, perfectly paired
Till morning brings first light
(La la la)
Her daddy's rage burns, ready to burst
Knowing what's at stake
But passion persists, pure and possessed
(Oh oh oh)
Damn your outlaw heart, Billy
Breaking every rule
Damn your outlaw ways, Billy
Making her your fool
(La la la la la)
Running from the law
But running to her arms
Hell-bent and heartbound
Setting off alarms
(Oh oh, la la la)
Fatal final night, full moon above
Bullets pierce the dark
Law man's silver gun, love comes undone
Shattering her heart
(La la la)
Damn your outlaw heart, Billy
Breaking every rule
Damn your outlaw ways, Billy
Making her your fool
(La la la la la)
