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...
