Clay Walker - Jesse James Lyrics






I was raised doin' right from wrong
Baptized under that old rugged cross
I try to be a good man, I always give it my best
But truth be told some days I wanna go to the wild wild west

[Chorus:]
I wanna line 'em up and drink 'em
I wanna love 'em and leave 'em
Sometimes I just wanna just ride the train
Be the first straw in to have no sun
And feel the kick of my six gun
Yeah, I "WANTED" above my name
Sometimes I wanna be like Jesus
Sometimes I wanna be Jesse James

I know where to draw the line
But there's just something 'bout that other side
I got angels on my left, and demons on my right
It's a never ending battle, its a constant fight

[Chorus]

I wanna steal a horse and ride into town
Stare the sheriff down
Tell him there's a new man around here
I wanna walk through those swingin' saloon doors
And hear my spurs hit the wooden floor
I wanna smell nothin' but fear, ya hear?
Law don't go around here

[Chorus]

You hear that law dog?

Law don't go around here

    Despite glidedguy making a high quality animation featuring your song in a big role and giving your song a lot of exposure, you still decided to steal all the money that video made. Disgusting.

    USA nomber one from, in the world, если бы у меня был выбор место жительства, Я конечно же выбрал бы северную Америку США или Канаду, ну конечно в южных штатах США, здорово думаю было бы жить, например ближе к границе с Мексикой! в Техасе Обелине или в Сан-Диего или Хьюстоне, Санта-Крузе, просто Я большой поклонник Американских вестернов.

    I was raised doin' right from wrong
    Baptized under that old rugged cross
    I try to be a good man, I always give it my best
    But truth be told someday
    I wanna go to the wild wild west

    I wanna line 'em up and drink 'em
    I wanna love 'em and leave 'em
    Sometimes I wanna just ride the train

    Be the first straw in that have no sun
    And feel the kick of my six gun
    Yeah, I want "WANTED" above my name

    Sometimes I wanna be like Jesus
    Sometimes I wanna be Jesse James
    ----------------------
    I know where to draw the line
    But there's just something 'bout that other side
    I got angels on my left, and demons on my right
    It's a never ending battle, its a constant fight

    I wanna line 'em up and drink 'em
    I wanna love 'em and leave 'em
    Sometimes I just wanna ride the train
    Be the first straw in that have no sun
    And feel the kick of my six gun
    Yeah, I want "WANTED" above my name

    Sometimes I wanna be like Jesus
    Sometimes I wanna be Jesse James
    ****************
    I wanna steal a horse and ride into town
    Stare the sheriff down
    Tell him there's a new man around here

    I wanna walk through those swingin' saloon doors
    And hear my spurs hit the wooden floor
    I wanna smell nothin' but fear, ya hear?
    Law don't go around here

    I wanna line 'em up and drink 'em

    Yeah, I want "WANTED" above my name

    Sometimes I wanna be like Jesus
    Sometimes I wanna be Jesse James

    You hear that law dog?
    Law don't go around here.....

    P.... H....

    Now I can understand thank you

    P.... H....

    I could've sworn it was *rob* a train...


    EDIT: Oh, and I'd say the 4th line of the chorus makes more sense (and sounds more like) "Be the first draw..." then I'm not sure about the rest.

  59. C.... G....

    Just seen him tonight in Macon Ga and he was awesome

  60. 1.... W....

    I love the part at the beginning where its just Clay's voice and the banjo...so bluegrass.

  61. T.... V....

    I see you Gildedguy

  62. M.... ....

    The GildedArmy coming soon.

    M.... ....

    Dam, too slow this time oh well you win some you lose some

    M.... ....

    The estimate pushed back, but looking at the livestreams, it'll all be worth it guys ;D
    And that trailer is hyping me up even more!

    b.... p....

    bubba pacha clay is from beaumont. I googled where he was from and it said Beaumont. I googled how far vidor tx is from beaumont tx. Over an hour away. His hometown is not even close to vidor. Why do people keep saying a Beaumont guy is from vidor. By the way clay and Mark chesnutt are both from beaumont

  71. C.... A....

    wyhte boys the original thugs

  72. J.... N....

    j.... t....

    jim turley try the pride of Beaumont. Him and Mark chesnutt are both from beaumont. I googled the.distance from vidor to Beaumont. It's over an hour away. Why the hell do people keep saying clay is from vidor unless he was born in Beaumont and.moved to vidor

    j.... t....

  75. j.... t....

    B.... Y....

    Um...maybe the music but their video to this song sucked...THIS particular video with all the stuff in it that Jesse was known for...This video knocked Save a Horse, Ride a cowboy down a whole hella lot of notches....Jesse Woodson James...sexiest cowboy who ever lived!

  85. A.... C....

    holy shit how am I just now hearing this song? gave me goosebumps!

    A.... C....
