Lyrics

I got a whole world of judgement on me now
I am cursed and called a craven coward
of this I will avow
I treasure, my notoriety
I’m the man, no man wants to see
still it’s better to be famous for the wrong I’ve done tonight
than to be, nobody all my life

I did it all for fortune and for fame
now I’m the man I shot I killed Jesse James
everybody knows me now for sure
every meals a feast
every empress is a whore
and it’s better to be famous for the wrong I’ve done tonight
than to be nobody all my life

I see his face forever in my dreams
I see me shoot him with a gun
it was a gift from him to me

I did it all for fortune and for fame
now I’m the man, I shot I killed Jesse James
everybody knows me now for sure
every meals a feast
every empress is a whore
and it’s better to be famous for the wrong I’ve done tonight
than to be nobody all my life

I see his face forever in my dreams
I see me shoot him with a gun
it was a gift from him to me

I got a whole world of judgement, on me now
I am cursed, called a craven coward
of this I will avow
I treasure my notoriety
I’m the man, no man wants to see
still it’s better to be famous, for the wrong I’ve done tonight
than to be nobody all my life
