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

[Unverified] I sing all the songs of America
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is good as life can get

Well, I had big time when I was down in Houston
Well, 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

[Unverified] I sing all the songs of America
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is good as life can get

Well, John Wayne and Jesus moved out to Hollywood
Workin' behind the scenes on MTV
Me, I'm standing right down here in Texas
And I know that's where I was always meant to be

[Unverified] I sing all the songs of America
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is good as life can get
