Em D
He was raised up right, straight from the dollar store
Em C D
He worked for every nickel and he knew what they were for
Em D
He dropped them in the jukebox as he danced across the floor
C D G
Fire flew from his tap shoes as the crowd called out for more
 
CHORUS
Yeehaw
 
SOLO
 
One day the lawmen came and they took away his shoes
Locked him behind the big wall cause he wouldn't hear the news
The times they are a changin' but Ol' Jesse never will
Jessico and Elvis will always own the hills
 
CHORUS
 
Jessico don't ya know that you come as no surprise
And you'll dance away with all the pretty girls tonight, yeehaw
