Jesse James Lyrics
Wasn’t always a trouble bringer
Wasn’t always a gunslinger
Don’t blame it on me if my trigger finger’s twitching
Dammit if she didn’t make a cowboy go a little heart broke crazy?
Got me too far gone, ain’t a soul could save me
Took the old me with her, I ain’t ever been the same
Cause on the day she rode away
She turned a white hat, heaven-bound man
Into a black bandana outlaw
Leanin’ less on the holy water and a little bit more on the alcohol
Somebody better pray for this town
Got me riding on the dark side now
She took this never-do-wrong John Wayne
And turned him into Jesse James
So put the money in the bag
Don’t try nothing, better make it real fast
Blame it on her if I’m at wits end
Cause ever since she got Gone With The Wind
Well, I’ve been spinning like a heart broke record
Every town I’m heading, I’m wanted dead or alive
Always thought I would change her name
Turns out, she changed mine
She turned a white hat, heaven-bound man
Into a black bandana outlaw
Leanin’ less on the holy water and a little bit more on the alcohol
Somebody better pray for this town
Got me riding on the dark side now
She took this never-do-wrong John Wayne
And turned him into Jesse James
Put your hands up, put your hands up
‘Cause she gone, she gone, she gone
Put your hands up, put your hands up
‘Cause she gone, she gone, and she ain’t the only one
She turned a white hat, heaven-bound man
Into a black bandana outlaw
Leanin’ less on the holy water and a little bit more on the alcohol
Somebody better pray for this town
Got me riding on the dark side now
She took this never-do-wrong John Wayne
And turned him into Jesse James
Turned him into Jesse James
Jesse James
Jesse James
