Jesse James Symphony Lyrics - Prefab Sprout

Jesse James is running and he'll never be at rest 

Till the day they fold his arms across his chest 

He's a long way from the cradle and his ma's authority 

But it only seems a minute since he stood over his bed 

And she tried to tell him something now what the hell was it she said 

Jesse James is thinking of the breaks he never had 

And the gene that cursed his blood group rhesus-bad 

Jesse James lived money his account was in the black 

Till the day he stopped a bullet with his back 

Well the zip code may read Vegas but the heart beats tupelo 

And a footstep is such a small thing that it's neither here nor there 

Till you string those steps together and find home is way back 

Way back where ?
