Fetchin Bones - Jesse James Lyrics
A man like Jesse JamesA very meticulous manDeep concern with detailA sense of some big planHis mind turns like a wheelWagon wheel through dustHe can count the spokesTurning down, coming 'roundWalking up, a tap on his backHe counted starsHe committed crimesHe was a robberHe stole men's timeA man like Jesse JamesA very serious manHis wife, his childrenTheir love dwelled in a tame landAs he rode backwards from themThe journey of a lifetimeA twister across the plainsThe black vortex his brainThe world weighs heavy on a manIt kicks him in his painsHe comes home to a place he doesn't know againHe counted the starsHe wept insideHe was a robberHe stole men's timeHe loved his childrenHe kissed them goodbyeHe lost the skyHe rode out of timeNow he knows he can't go backHe blazed his trail so wellA parade of dustHe leads a bold red swatch through timeA man like Jesse James
