You're struttin' into town
Like you're slingin' a gun
Just a small town dude
With a big city attitude
Honey, are ya lookin' for
Some trouble tonight
Well, alright

You think you're so bad
Drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all down
With the flash of your pearly smile
Honey, but you met your match tonight
Oh, that's right

You think you'll knock me off my feet
'Til I'm flat on the floor
'Til 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

Chorus:
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

You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide
Well, you ain't so strong
Won't be long 'til your hands are tied
Tonight, I'm gonna take you in dead or alive
That's right

You break the laws of love in the name of desire
Take ten steps back, 'cause I'm ready, baby
Aim and fire
Baby, there's nowhere you gonna run tonight
Ooh, that's right

Well, you've 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 nothing left to say

Chorus

You think you'll knock me off my feet
'Til I'm flat on the floor
'Til my heart is cryin' Indian
And I'm beggin' for more
So come on, baby
Come on, baby, come on, baby
Come on

Chorus

Tonight, you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
Tonight, you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James

I'm gonna shoot you down Jesse James
