Jack Loved Jesse

Red eyed and wasted rollin' into Memphis
Jack said to Jesse I don't think I can handle this
The slammin' in his ears was his own heartbeat
A .38 tucked under the seat
Jessie said Jack this ain't no foolin' around
If we screw up now they're gonna take us down
Chorus
Jack loved Jesse like a runaway train
He knew she was crazy but he loved her just the same
It felt like dancin' on the edge of a knife
Jack loved Jesse for the rest of his life
Trunk full of Menifee county homegrown
Ten thousand dollars if they bring it on home
But Jess shot it to hell back in Jackson town
The Tennessee trooper on the ground
Jesse said if we could make Arkansas
We got us a chance to outrun the law
Chorus
Jack loved Jesse like a runaway train
He knew she was crazy but he loved her just the same
It felt like dancin' on the edge of a knife
Jack loved Jesse for the rest of his life
Memphis rolled by like a dream in the night
At the Mississippi bridge they could see daylight
Two unmarked cars fallin' in behind
Jesse said Jack it's the end of the line
Matt black Fords blockin' all four lanes
If we're goin' down we're goin' down in flames
Chorus
Jack loved Jesse like a runaway train
He knew she was crazy but he loved her just the same
It felt like dancin' on the edge of a knife
Jack loved Jesse for the rest of his life
Jack loved Jesse for the rest of his life
Jack loved Jesse
Jack loved Jesse
