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

Apologies... False start

Hey, fellow fans! I noticed the poll would only let you choose one outfit so I had to reinitialize it to fix this problem. My deepest apologies for the inconvience. I will let the poll run for an extra day to make up for it. Thanks for your understanding!

...But most greatly, thanks for your participation!

The "Jesse James" poll

Get ready for the new poll, fellow fans! You get to choose your 2 favorite cowboyesque outfits from Cher's wardrobe to showcase hits such as "Just Like Jesse James" and "A Cowboy's Work is Never Done".

1st we have Cher's dress up for the "Just Like Jesse James" song during the Love Hurts tour in 1992. 2nd was seen on stage in 1980 for a country medley performance during a special show called Celebration at Caesar's Palace. The funky 3rd outfit is from a photoshoot for Malibu Cowboy boots in 2009. And at last, the 4th outfit was used during both Farewell and Colosseum shows to perform various ballad songs.

You'll have to be fast on your guns this week because the poll will run for four days only. So take a glimpse at all choices taken from your suggestions over the last two weeks and cast your vote, fellow fans!

Thanks for all the suggestions that were sent! Head-to-toe picture was a major requirement so some outfits had to be discarded unfortunately...

Wanted! Cowgirl Cher

Greetings to all! This week's poll gets a little different...

As we all know, Cher's got a few western-flavored hits under her belt that fans enjoy. Think of those great ballads such as Just Like Jesse James or the Sonny & Cher hit A Cowboy's Work Is Never Done. These two would surely need a spot in the Cher Playing Cards.
