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
