Intro:
, (x4)
Verse 1:
James,
Come on home.
You've been gone too long, baby.
We can't let our hero die a-lone.
We miss you day and night,
You left town to live by the rifle.
You left us to fight,
But it just ain't right, to take away the light.
Bridge 1:
Remember Genie, from the ca-sino?
She's still a-waiting, in that big brass bed.
The boys from your gang, are knocking whisky back,
'Till they get out of hand and wish they were dead.
They're only lonely for the life that they led,
With their old friends.
Chorus 1:
Ooh...
Wooh-hoo-ooh-hoo,
Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo hoo,

Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo.
James,

Verse 2:
Where,
Lies your heart?
It's not there in the buckskin baby.
It's not there in the gin,
That makes you laugh long and loud.
You're a coward, James;
You're running a-way from humanity.
You're running out on reality.
It won't be funny, when they rat-a-tat-tat you down.
Bridge 2:
