Jesse James Bolero

Lyrics

[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 ?
