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 pictured them
I stood up at the front of the class
Waving my American flag
I said the pledge
And sang Amber waves of grain
And I sing all the songs of America
I dance in the rain in Lafayette
I'm still hangin' out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is as good as life can get, as good as it can get.
Yeah I had a big time when I was down there in Houston
I fell in love then I moved down to New Orleans
Well she said so long, and I'm here on my own
She's still got a little bitty piece of me.
And I sing all the songs of America
And I dance in the rain in Lafayette
I'm still hangin' out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is as good as life can get, as good as it can get.
See John Wayne and Jesus, they moved out to Hollywood
They're working behind the scenes on MTV.
Tonight I'm here in Gruene, Texas
And I know that's exactly where I'm supposed to be.
And I sing all the songs of America
And I dance in the rain in Lafayette
I'm still hangin' out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is as good as life can get, as good as it can get.
And I sing all the songs of America
And I dance in the rain in Lafayette
I'm still hangin' out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is as good as life can get, as good as it can get.
