Jesse's Soul

Radney Foster

Drop D Tuning

Now Jesse's pew was empty for three Sundays in a row
The elders sent a party just to find out what was wrong
The first thing that they found when they broke down the door
Was a yellowed piece of paper lyin' on the floor

Written in some woman's hand that no one recognized
Was a note that had been dated August 1965
Said Jesse, don't forsake me one last final score
Meet me in Del Rio, it's the one we waited for

Chorus:
The Lord was Jesse's shepherd and rightous was his path
There's still a debt to settle with the demons of his past
The double-crossed have double backed and vengeance took control
Well. there's blood across the river and a stain on Jesse's soul

A Mexican newspaper with a younger Jesse's face
A 30 year old road map and an empty cartridge case
Were lyin' by the bible that was opened to the Psalms
He took his comfort with him cause the 23rd was gone

Chorus

Solo
30 years of dreamin just how sweet revenge can be
Will twist the soul of any man and steal his sanity
No amount of Sunday hymns is ever gonna set that straight
Jesse took the peace he found and nailed it to his hate
