Jesse James Songtext
von Wyatt

I was raised knowing right from wrong
Baptized under that old rugged cross
Yeah, I try to be a good man, I always give it my best
But truth be told some days I wanna go to the wild, wild west

I wanna line ′em up and drink 'em
I wanna love ′em and leave 'em
Sometimes I just wanna rob a train
Be the first to draw at high noon, son
Feel the kick of my six gun
Yeah, I want "wanted" above my name
Sometimes I wanna be like Jesus
Sometimes I wanna be Jesse James

I know where to draw the line
There's just something ′bout that other side
I′ve got angels on my left, and demons on my right
It's a never ending battle, it′s a constant fight


I wanna line 'em up and drink ′em
I wanna love 'em and leave ′em
Sometimes I just wanna rob a train
Be the first to draw at high noon, son
Feel the kick of my six gun
Yeah, I want "wanted" above my name
Sometimes I wanna be like Jesus
Sometimes I wanna be Jesse James

I wanna steal a horse, ride into town
Stare that sheriff down, tell him there's a new law around here
I wanna walk through those swinging saloon doors
Hear my spurs hit the wooden floor
I wanna see nothing but fear, yeah

I wanna line 'em up and drink ′em
I wanna love ′em and leave 'em
Sometimes I just wanna rob a train
Be the first to draw at high noon, son
Feel the kick of my six gun
Yeah, I want "wanted" above my name
Sometimes I wanna be like Jesus
Sometimes I wanna be Jesse James
Jesse James


I wanna line ′em up
Love 'em and leave ′em
Sometimes I just wanna rob a train
I wanna be like Jesus
Yeah, I wish I was like Jesus
Sometimes I wanna be Jesse James
