Emmylou Harris - Belle Starr lyrics

rate me

My mamma and my daddy

Told me that love is a two-way street

But lately baby, you've 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 star

You can be my Jesse James

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 star

And i can be your Jesse James

I know you've done some hard time

Baby, and you've got your doubts

When you feel surrounded

And it's looking there's no way out

I'll come riding to rescue

All you gotta do is call my name

I'll be your belle star

You can be my Jesse James

It don't take a genius, baby

There ain't no big mystery

You can't play it safe

And still go down in history

So saddle up the horses

'Cos we're headed for the hall of fame

I'll be your belle star

You can be my Jesse James

I'll be your belle star

You can be my Jesse James
