Big Country

John Wayne's Dream

I could walk in

To the sunset

With my best girl by my side

I would pull her up beside me

And together we would ride

Hey Ma

Hey Pa

Look at me standin' tall

Brother

Sister

Look at them bad guys fall

I'm walkin' and talkin' real slow

Out where the tumbleweed blows

Hey Ma

Hey Pa

Let those wagons roll!

I played poker

With a doctor

Stand straight up

And call him cheat

Then I walked those 20 paces

I gunned him right down

In the street

Hey Ma

Hey Pa

Look at me standin' tall

Brother

Sister - (Ha! )

Look at them bad guys fall

I'm walkin' and talkin' real slow

Out where the tumbleweed blows

Hey Ma

Hey Pa

Let those wagons roll!

Don't wake me up

I'm dreamin' John Wayne's dream

Under a sky so big

On a prairie green

Please leave me here

In John Wayne's dream - (Yeah! )

I'd ride shotgun

On a stagecoach

Keep those bandits

From my girl

And I'd hold her

Around the waist, man

I'd run my rough hands

Through those curls

Hey Ma

Hey Pa

Look at me standing tall

Brothers - (Ha! )

Sisters

Look at those bad guys fall

I'm walkin' and talkin' real slow

Out where the tumbleweed blows

Hey Ma

Hey Pa

Let those wagons roll!

Don't wake me up

I'm dreamin' John Wayne's dream

Under a sky so big

On a prairie green

Please leave me here

In John Wayne's dream

Hey Ma

Hey Pa

Look at me standin' tall

Brother (Ow! )

Sister

Look at them bad guys fall

I'm walkin' and talkin' real slow

Out where the tumbleweed blows

Hey Ma

Hey Pa

Let those wagons roll!
