Jesse was a renegade danced to his own drum



Growin' wise could wait 'til tomorrow



Took to a road signposted sorrow



Jesse was a hooligan jumped right off the rail



There in the cards there in the tarot



Born to despise the straight and the narrow



Jesse was a connoisseur



Home cookin' tasted stale



Jesse James bolero is a dance upon the run



Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son



Jesse James is waiting



For the cheap music to stop



Don't goodbye deserve some Bach not barbershop ?



Jesse didn't hear the drum suddenly lose time



All his plans crafted, clever



Fated unborn - Unfinished forever



Jesse didn't hear the drum stop outside his door



In his dreams destiny towered



In the cold light of day it came as a coward



Jesse didn't hear the drum



At the age of thirty-four



Jesse James bolero is a dance upon the run



Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son



Jesse James is waiting



For the cheap music to stop



Don't goodbye deserve some Bach not barbershop ?



Jesse James bolero is a dance upon the run



Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son



Jesse James is waiting



For the cheap music to stop



Don't goodbye deserve some Bach not barbershop ?
