Testo Jesse James Symphony Prefab Sprout
Jesse james is running and heâll never be at rest
âtil the day they fold his arms across his chest
Heâs a long way from the cradle
And his maâs authority
But it only seems a minute
Since he stood over his bed
And she tried to tell him something
Now what the hell was it she said ? ? ?
Jesse james is thinking of the breaks he never had
And the gene that cursed his blood group rhesus-bad
Jesse james lived money
His account was in the black
âtil the day he stopped a bullet with his back
Well the zip cose may read vegas
But the heart beats tupelo
And a footstep is such a small thing
That itâs neither here nor there
âtil you string those steps together
And find home is way back, way back where ?
Jesse james was never
Part of lifes great symphony
All he heard were penny whistles out of key
Jesse james he promised :
"i will never die afraid"
That boy perjured every vow he ever made
