Belle Starr

My Mama and my Daddy
Told me that love is a two way street.
But, lately Baby you been finding new ways of dragging your feet.
So, come on make your best shot, you don't have to take the blame
I'll be your Belle Starr
You can be my Jesse James.
Verse II:
There's lonely people everywhere
From Abilene to Arkansas
The way they run for cover
You'd think love was against the law.
Well, I don't need a pistol, baby
You won't have to rob a train
You can be my Belle Starr
I'll be your Jesse James.
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Bridge:
I know you've done some hard time
Baby, and you've got your doubts
When you feel surrounded
And it's looking like there's no way out.
I'll come riding to the rescue
All you gotta do is call my name
I'll be your Belle Starr
You can be my Jesse James.
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Verse III:
It don't take a genius, baby
There ain't no big mystery
You can play it safe
And still go down in history
So, saddle up the horses
Cause we're headed to the Hall of Fame
I'll be your Belle Starr
You can be my Jesse James
I'll be your Belle Starr
You can be my Jesse James
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
on out....
