Jesse

Jesse, Jesse, Jesse

At the end of the cotton rope
We all saw what we shouldn't know (mm, mm, mm)
Mama stripping off her dress
Laying down in the tall grass
The window's low
Mama just wants to let go

It's okay, put the gun down
It's alright, put the bottle away
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse
It's okay, put the gun down
It's alright, put the bottle away
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse

We hear an echo in the trees
As our mama whispers please (mm, mm, mm)
A strangеr's body closin' in
Kisses mama's lips again
The summer is slow
Mama wants to keep it on thе down-low

It's okay, put the gun down
It's alright, put the bottle away
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse
It's okay, put the gun down
It's alright, put the bottle away
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse

Lining us up just like dogs
With a gun in your hand
Daddy, if you knew the truth
We all think you'd understand
We are dead on our feet, yeah
Mama's white as a sheet

It's okay, put the gun down
It's alright, put the bottle away
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse
It's okay, put the gun down
It's alright, put the bottle away
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse
