Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's about the fight out at the O.K. Corral
[Verse 2]
Walkin' into town like you're slingin' a gun
Just a small town dude with a big city attitude
Honey, are you lookin' for some trouble tonight?
Well, alright
[Verse 3]
Think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild
Shot 'em all down with a flash of your pearly smile
Honey, but you met your match tonight
That's right
[Verse 4]
Think you'll knock me off my feet till I'm flat on the floor
Till my heart is cryin' Indian, and I'm beggin' for more
So come on, baby, come on, baby
Come on, baby, show me what that loaded gun is for
[Verse 5]
If you can give it, I can take it
'Cause if this heart is gonna break, it's gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight, somebody's gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough, come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count, and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
[Verse 6]
You're an outlaw lover, and I'm after your hide
Well, you ain't so strong, won't be long till your hands are tied
Tonight I'm gonna take you in, dead or alive
That's right
[Verse 7]
You break the laws of love in the name of desire
Take ten steps back, 'cause I'm ready, baby, aim and fire
Honey, there's nowhere you're gonna run tonight
That's right
[Verse 8]
Well, you had your way with love, but it's the end of the day
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away
So come on, baby, come on, baby
Come on, baby, you know there ain't nothin' left to say
[Verse 9]
If you can give it, I can take it
'Cause if this heart is gonna break, it's gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight, somebody's gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough, come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count, and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
[Verse 10]
You think you'll knock me off my feet till I'm flat on the floor
Till my heart is cryin' Indian, and I'm beggin' for more
So come on, baby, come on, baby
Come on, baby, come on
[Verse 11]
If you can give it, I can take it
'Cause if this heart is gonna break, it's gonna take a lot to break it
Well, I know tonight, somebody's gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough, come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count, and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
(Tonight you're gonna go down in flames)
Just like Jesse James
(Tonight you're gonna go down in flames)
Just like Jesse James
[Verse 12]
I'm gonna shoot you down, Jesse James
