Jesse's Song (feat. Ted Beam)

I played hide and go seek all by myself
I sought after heaven but hid in hell
And it makes no sense 'cause I know full well
There's only one place I long to dwell

I spend most of my days trying to outrun
The arm of the law and the setting sun
And I can't say that I'm proud of what I've done
But sometimes I find myself still reaching for my gun

Shaun O'Malley, first man that I killed
Thought he could outdraw me, so I put him in boot hill
When the train passes, I feel the devil's pull
Should I risk it all for a shot at the rich man's gold

Jesse please
Put down your gun
Your brother's dead
And all for a bottle of rum

So many little things are taking my time
I can't let these worries get the best of my mind
And though the Lord keeps giving me what I need
He's sure got a way of bringing me to my knees

Katherine the gypsy took me by my hand
Said if I gave her one night, she'd turn me into a man
But she broke her promise when she broke my heart
She only left me standing right back, at the start

Jesse please
Follow me
Don't you believe
I'll take care of everything
I'll take care of everything
