My mama and my daddy
Told me that love is a two-way street
But lately baby, you've been findin'
New ways of draggin' your feetSo come on, make your best shot
You don't have to take the blameI'll be your belle star
You can be my Jesse JamesThere's lonely people everywhere
From Abilene to Arkansas
The way they run for cover
You'd think love was against the lawWell, I don't need a pistol, baby
You won't have to rob a trainYou can be my belle star
And I can be your Jesse James, oh, ohI know you've done some hard time
Baby and you've got your doubts
When you feel surrounded
And it's lookin' like there's no way outI'll come ridin' to your rescue
All you gotta do is call my nameI'll be your belle star
You can be my Jesse James, oh, ohIt don't take a genius, baby
There ain't no big mystery
You can't play it safe
And still go down in historySo saddle up the horses
'Cos we're headed for the hall of fameI'll be your belle star
You can be my Jesse James
I'll be your belle star
You can be my Jesse James
Oh, oh, oh, oh
