Lyrics Brazzaville

Brazzaville

Jesse James

When he was runnin’ from the cops

He said, “Baby, I’m just 19

I’m as sexy as a ballerina in a magazine

Give me danger and a gun

You know I ain’t afraid of pain

I don’t wanna live your life

I wanna die like Jesse James

I wanna die like Jesse James…

“I grew up in a little trailer

On the edge of town

My daddy used to beat me raw

He used to beat me down

And one thing that I learned

When I was barely 17

Was how to kill a full-grown man

When he was half asleep

‘Cause I wanna die like Jesse James…

“So now I’m runnin’ from the cops

And Baby, I’m just 19

I’m as sexy as a ballerina on a TV screen

And I’m happy as a newborn baby

When he sees his mom

And I’m grateful to the bullet

That’s just about to take me home

‘Cause I wanna die like Jesse James…
