BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Ballad Of Jesse James"

Well, don't you wanna climb a mountain
Yeah, don't you wanna ride the river
Drink from a magic fountain
Give your woman all the love that you can give her

Well, don't you wanna be an outlaw
Don't you wanna ride the range
Don't you wanna be an outlaw children
Just like Jesse, like Jesse James, just like Jesse boy

Well now, don't you wanna swim the ocean
Yeah, don't you wanna climb the highest tree
Drink some of Mama's lovin' potion
Get your woman till she just can't see*

Don't you wanna be an outlaw
Just a poor boy caught on the skids
Don't you wanna be an outlaw children
Just like Billy, just like Billy the Kid

Well now, Billy he was a bad boy
He won the wilder west
By the year of 21, had many notches on his gun
But someone laid him to an early rest

Well, don't you wanna climb a mountain
Yeah, don't you wanna ride the river
Drink from a magic fountain
Give your woman all the love that you can give her

Don't you wanna be an outlaw
Don't you wanna ride the range
Don't you wanna be an outlaw children
Just like Jesse

[Guitar solo]

Yeah, Jesse he was a bad boy
He won the wilder west
And many notches on his gun, as the year of 21
Someone laid him to an early rest
[?]

Don't you wanna climb a mountain
Yeah, don't you wanna ride the river
Drink from a magic fountain
Give your woman all the love that you can give her
Hey!

Don't you wanna be an outlaw
Don't you wanna ride the range
Don't you wanna be an outlaw children
Just, just like Jesse, [?]

Well, don't you wanna be an outlaw
Don't you wanna be an outlaw
Woah woah woah, woah woah woah
Just like Jesse, just like Jesse, just like Jesse
Bring it on man! Bring it on man!
Woah woah woah
