[Intro] [Verse 1] Well, Papa stole horses down in Abilene, And my brother ran moonshine at just seventeen, Sister ran cards in a bar full o’ crooks, While I learned my sins from the good ol’ Good Book. But the worst of us all ain’t wearin’ no spurs — She’s wearin’ a bonnet and cursin’ in verse. [Chorus] Mama just robbed the bank in broad daylight, Waved her little pistol and rode off in flight, Left a note on the counter in her fancy lace ink, Said, “Tell the sheriff his mama fights dirty in pink.” They say Jesse James was wild and bold... But Jessica James? She broke the mold. [Verse 2] We were raised on biscuits and bad decisions, Sundays in jail, not Bible missions. The preacher came by just once, I swear, Mama turned him away with a shotgun glare. She’d bake you a pie, then pick your lock, Steal your horse, and sell your socks. [Chorus] Mama just robbed the bank, clear as day, Tossed silver coins like a bridal bouquet, She winked at the clerk as she aimed at the safe, Said, “Don’t worry darlin’, I’ll leave ya your faith.” She ain't afraid of no noose or chain — Jessica James is her outlaw name. [Bridge] She’s got a bounty higher than the Rockies, Wanted posters hangin' in every saloon lobby, She knits her own masks, bakes dynamite pie, And if you cross her once, well… kiss life goodbye. [Verse 3] We tried to keep up, but it ain’t no use, Mama’s runnin’ circles round the whole dang deuce. She robbed the Pinkertons dressed as a nun, Stole a judge’s whiskey and his prized six-gun. Even the governor wrote her a plea — “Please, Miss James, just don’t rob me.” [Final Chorus] Mama just robbed the bank and sang a tune, While dancin’ out the door like a bandit cartoon, Lit a cigar with a dollar bill flame, And shouted, “Tell God I’m winnin’ this game!” Forget Jesse James — he’s old folklore... Jessica James just settled the score. [Outro] So if you hear boots in the dark and a laugh so low, Hide your cash and your pie, and don’t say hello. ‘Cause Mama’s still ridin’, mean as a crank — Jessica James… and she just robbed another bank. [country ending]
