Текст песни Except for Jessie - Live - Aaron Watson

Well before she came along, he was lonesome, ornery and mean
And it was his way or the highway
But she had a way that he'd never seen
And he'd been livin' hard and fast
All his takin' was takin' its toll
And it took a good hearted, hard headed angel
To help him gain control

He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
Well some even cussed his name
'Cause they couldn't see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie

But she never tried to change him
She loved him and gave him a son
And that ain't easy with a honky tonkin' man
Makin' music on the run
And Lord knows she was a good wife
Always good at findin' ways to right his wrongs
She was the love of his life, the inspiration for his songs

He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
Well some even cussed his name
'Cause they couldn't see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie
Come on boys!

He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
And some even cussed his name
'Cause they couldn't see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie

Naw, naw
Oh, he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie, hey, hey
That song's about Shooter's mama right there

I tell you what
I want you guys to know how much I love you
You guys mean the world to me
And we appreciate y'all comin' out here tonight
I can't take credit for this next song idea
Uh, I have to give credit to Miss Katie Key
She's the queen of the Texas music chart

Six years ago, the week I got married
I was lookin' on the Texas music chart
To see how 'Off The Record' was doin' at the time
And in the headlines it says...
"Aaron Watson, the honky tonk kid is to be married this Saturday"
And then it said, "Hearts are breakin' all over Texas"
