"Jesse James" is a song recorded by American country music artist Clay Walker.

It was released in September 2012 as the fourth single from his 2010 studio album, She Won't Be Lonely Long.

"Jesse James" first appeared in February 2010 on the "She Won't Be Lonely Long" extended play.

"[4] The up-tempo song is about a man who despite being raised right sometimes just wants to be bad like the old-west outlaw Jesse James.

In the album review for "She Won't Be Lonely Long", Bobby Peacock of Roughstock wrote, "For an artist who rarely cuts up-tempos Jesse James is a serious gamble that pays off.

[5] Matt Bjorke also of Roughstock wrote, "It's a fun song that is contemporary yet feels like something that could've been released by Clay Walker when he was at the height of his radio stardom in the 1990s.

It is an old west inspired video featuring Eat'n Park spokes model Sarah Marince as a saloon girl as well as Walker's wife Jessica playing a character named "Blue".
