0:21Jesse was a renegade danced to his own drum
0:31Growin' wise could wait till tomorrow
0:35Took to a road signposted sorrow
0:41Jesse was a hooligan jumped right off the rail
0:50There in the cards there in the tarot
0:55Born to despise the straight and the narrow
1:01Jesse was a connoisseur home cookin' tasted stale
1:08Jesse James Bolero is a dance upon the run
1:18Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son
1:28Jesse James is waiting for the cheap music to stop
1:38Don't goodbye deserve some bach not barbershop
1:50Jesse didn't hear the drum suddenly lose time
2:00All his plans crafted clever
2:04Fated unborn unfinished forever
2:10Jesse didn't hear the drum stop outside his door
2:20In his dreams destiny towered
2:24In the cold light of day it came as a coward
2:30Jesse didn't hear the drum at the age of thirty four
2:37Jesse James Bolero is a dance upon the run
2:47Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son
2:57Jesse James is waiting for the cheap music to stop
3:07Don't goodbye deserve some bach not barbershop
3:17Jesse James Bolero is a dance upon the run
3:27Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son
3:37Jesse James is waiting for the cheap music to stop
3:47Don't goodbye deserve some bach not barbershop
