"Jesse Jane" lyrics

Jesse Jane she was born alone
In the middle of a thunder storm
Never had a place called home
So hit the road when she was 18 years old

Out on the boulevard
Strummin' her guitar
He said are you for hire
If you give me that song
And people sing along
We'll set the world on fire

Over night she was running
On her way and the bright lights were shining down
Jesse Jane they were callin'
That's when he said your life's gonna turn around

Cause you got that sound
Comin' straight from the clouds
It's gonna take you all around

She heard her song on the radio
Went back to back at the troubadour
That's when he said, let me take control
I'm the only one who really knows how this goes

So Jesse went for the ride
What a hell of a time
Her light was getting brighter
Looking back on her life
She couldn't recognize
Those eyes in the mirror

All her life she had nobody
But when there's money
It's funny how they come around
See at the top it might look sunny
But the higher you get
The harder you come tumbling down

But she got that sound
Coming straight from the clouds
It's gonna lift her off the ground

Whatchu got
Is what they want
Darling they will bleed you until it's gone
Whatchu do
It's up to you
Just remember you're the reason all along

So Jesse went for that ride
Had a hell of a time
And learned that she's a fighter
Lookin' back at that life
And countin' all those lies
She told him he was fired

Over night she was running
On her way and the bright lights came shining down
Jessie Jane they were callin'
That's when she said my life's gonna turn around
They sing her songs in the moonlight
And they scream, look at all the love we found
She always knew she'd be alright
She came from nothin' so how you gonna break her down

Cause she got that sound
Comin' straight from the clouds
It's gonna take her all around

Whatchu got
Is they want
And darling they will love you through it all
So carry on
Play your song
Just remember you're the reason all along
