Jesse James Bolero

[Verse 1]

Jesse was a renegade

Danced to his own drum

Growin' wise, could wait 'til tomorrow

Took to a road signposted sorrow

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Jesse was a connoisseur

Home cookin' tasted stale

[Chorus]

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 ?

[Verse 3]

Jesse didn't hear the drum

Suddenly lose time

All his plans crafted, clever

Fated unborn, unfinished forever

[Verse 4]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Jesse didn't hear the drum

At the age of thirty-four

[Chorus]

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 ?

[Chorus]

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 ?
