Jesse James Bolero

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?
