Day 13: Just Like Jesse James

Today is that cowboy song "with an awful lot of words" as Cher admitted on her Farewell Tour. But we love it for sure! It peaked to #8 on the billboard chart in 1989 despite the lack of a music video to promote it. Too bad because it would have been great to see Cher in a Wild West themed video for that song! What do you think?

You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun

Just a small town dude with a big city attitude

Honey you're lookin' for some trouble tonight
Well alright

You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild

Shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile

Honey but you met your match tonight

Oh that's right!

You think you'll knock me off my feet till I'm flat on the floor

Till my heart is crying Indian and I'm beggin' for more

So come on baby, come on baby

Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

CHORUS
If you can give it, I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break
It's gonna take a lot to break it

I know tonight somebody's gonna win the fight

So if you're so tough come on and prove it

Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James

You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide

Well you ain't so strong

Won't be long till your hands are tied

Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive

Thaaat's right
You break the laws of love in the name of desire

Take ten steps back, Cause I'm ready baby aim and fire

Baby there's no way you gonna run tonight

Ooooh, that's right

Well you've had your way with love

But it's the end of the day

Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away

 So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say

CHORUS
If you can give it, I can take it

Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it

I know tonight somebody's gonna win the fight

So if you're so tough come on and prove it

Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it

tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James

If you'll knock me off my feet till I'm flat on the floor
Till my heart is crying Indian and I'm begging for more

 So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby, Come on

CHORUS
If you can give it, I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break
It's gonna take a lot to break it

I know tonight somebody's gonna win the fight

So if you're so tough come on and prove it

Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James
I'm gonna shoot ya down Jesse James
