Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - Belle Starr lyrics

My mama and my daddy Told me that love is a two-way street But lately baby, you've been finding New ways of dragging your feet So come on, make your best shot You don't have to take the blame I'll be your belle star You can be my Jesse James There's lonely people everywhere From Abilene to Arkansas The way they run for cover You'd think love was against the law Well i don't need a pistol , baby You won't have to rob a train You can be my belle star And i can be your Jesse James I know you've done some hard time Baby, and you've got your doubts When you feel surrounded And it's looking there's no way out I'll come riding to rescue All you gotta do is call my name I'll be your belle star You can be my Jesse James It don't take a genius, baby There ain't no big mystery You can't play it safe And still go down in history So saddle up the horses 'Cos we're headed for the hall of fame I'll be your belle star You can be my Jesse James I'll be your belle star You can be my Jesse James
