John Wayne And Jesus

I met John Wayne and Jesus when I was just a kid

They both had on their cowboy hats just like I'd pictured them

I stood up at the front of the class waving my American flag

I said the pledge, sang amber waves of grain

I sing all the song of America

Danced in the rain in Lafayette

I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus

And I know that is as good as life can get

I had big time when I was down in Houston

I fell in love and moved out to New Orleans

Well she said so long, now I'm here all alone

She's still got a little bitty piece of me

I sing all the song of America

Danced in the rain in Lafayette

I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus

And I know that is as good as life can get

Well John Wayne and Jesus moved out to Hollywood

Workin' behind the scenes on MTV

Me I'm right down here in Texas

Cause I know that's where I was always meant to be

I sing all the song of America

Danced in the rain in Lafayette

I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus

And I know that is as good as life can get
