Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1:
	Riding NEorth on Interstate 75
	With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
	And a pisAtol that he used to pave the Eway
	Down the long black stretches of a dark higB7hway
Verse 2:
	Ray bougEht his future with a pound of lead
	When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
	That kid Ashould have put the money in the sEack
	But he didn't and now there ain't no turning B7back
Chorus 1:
	He's a desperatAe rider, he's a Jesse EJames
	The best thaAt he could hope for is a householEd name
	There ain't noAbody that a man can Etrust
	When all his heB7adlines read, notoriouEs
        There aAin't nobody that a mEan can trust
	When all his heB7adlines read, notoriouEs
Verse 3:
	They pullEed out of ? about12 o'clock
	Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block
	Ray killAed the motor at the county lineE  
	Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost tag B7sign
Verse 4:
	She woulEd never ask what the boy had done
	But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
	Her mommAa raised her to be loyal and Etrue
	And she figured that's the least that she couB7ld do
Chorus 2:
        She was lAost and lonely on a Emidnight ride
        RelAuctant Bonnie to a poEorman's Clyde
	It ain't toAo easy when the man you Elove
	Has got a repB7utation that's notoriouEs
        It aAin't too easy when the mEan you love
	Has got a repB7utation that's notoriouEs
Verse 5:
	They were Ejust outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
	And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs
	Ray poppAed that Firebird into overdriEve
	And swore he'd never let them take hiB7m alive
Chorus 3:
        He was a dAesperate rider, he was EJesse James
	The best thaAt he'd ever hope for was a householEd name
	The morning pAapers didn't say too Emuch
	But his obituaB7iry read, notoriouEs
        The cAaption by his picture didn't sEay too much
	But his obituaB7iry read, notoriouEs
        The cAaption by his picture didn't sEay too much
	But his obituaB7iry read, notoriouEs
