My mama and my daddy Told me love is a two-way street But lately baby, you've been finding New ways of dragging your feet So come on, take your best shot You don't have to take the blame I'll be your Belle Starr You can be my Jesse James
There's lonely people everywhere From Abilene to Arkansas The way they run for cover You'd think love was against the law Well I don't need a pistol , baby You won't have to rob a train You can be my Belle Starr And I can be your Jesse James
I know you've done some hard time Baby, and you've got your doubts When you feel surrounded And it's looking like there's no way out I'll come riding to rescue All you gotta do is call my name I'll be your Belle Starr You can be my Jesse James
It don't take a genius, baby There ain't no big mystery You can't play it safe And still go down in history So saddle up the horses 'Cause we're headed for the hall of fame I'll be your Belle Starr You can be my Jesse James I'll be your Belle Starr You can be my Jesse James
