Jesse James
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're struttin' into town like you're slinging a gun
Just a small town dude with a big city attitude
Honey are you're looking for some trouble tonight
Well alright
You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all down with a flash of your pearly smile
Honey but you met your match tonight
That's right
You think you knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor
'Til my heart is crying out and I'm begging for more
So c'mon baby, c'mon baby
C'mon baby show me what the loaded gun is for
IF YOU CAN GIVE IT CAN TAKE IT
BUT IF THIS HEART IS GONNA BREAK IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT TO BREAK IT
I KNOW TONIGHT SOMEBODY'S GONNA WIN THE FIGHT
SO IF YOU'RE SO TOUGH C'MON AND PROOF IT
YOUR HEART IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA LOSE
TONIGHT YOU'RE GONA GO DOWN IN FLAMES
JUST LIKE JESSE JAMES
You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide
Well you ain't that strong, won't be long 'til your hands are tied
Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive, that's right
You break the laws of love in the name of desire
Take ten steps back, cause I'm ready baby, aim and fire
Baby there's no way you're gonna run tonight
Well you've had your way with love but it's the end of the day
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away
So c'mon baby, c'mon baby
C'mon baby you know there ain't nothing else to say
IF YOU CAN GIVE IT CAN TAKE IT
BUT IF THIS HEART IS GONNA BREAK IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT TO BREAK IT
I KNOW TONIGHT SOMEBODY'S GONNA WIN THE FIGHT
SO IF YOU'RE SO TOUGH C'MON AND PROOF IT
YOUR HEART IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA LOSE
TONIGHT YOU'RE GONA GO DOWN IN FLAMES
JUST LIKE JESSE JAMES
