Song Lyrics
He was jesse james, but his obituary read
They were just outside of knoxville when the lights flashed on, he was a desperate rider Railroad, he was a desperate rider
He was a desperate rider, and the pistol that he used to pave the way
the caption by his picture didn t say too much
The caption by his picture didn t say too much, the best he d ever hoped for was a household name
And the pistol that he used to pave the way, riding north on interstate 75, took the heat stroke with the lights off to avoid the roadblock
And the pistol that he used to pave the way, with a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side, and the pistol that he used to pave the way
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side, when all his headlines read notorious
But she said she d be his hostage if he needed one, he was jesse james
But he didn t and now there ain t no turning back, the morning papers didn t say too much, it ain t too easy when the man you love
When all his headlines read notorious, the best he d ever hoped for was a household name
Changed his tennessee plates to a lost tag sign, the morning papers didn t say too much Railroad, he was a desperate rider
Riding north on interstate 75, and she figured that s the least that she could do
The best he d ever hoped for was a household name, ray bought his future with a pound of lead
Has got a reputation that s notorious, that kid should ve put the money in the sack Notorious, with a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
It ain t too easy when the man you love, but his obituary read
ray killed the motor at the county line
when he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
Down the long black stretches of a dark highway, ray popped that firebird into overdrive
when all his headlines read notorious
Ray popped that firebird into overdrive, her mama raised her to be loyal and true
