John Wayne & 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
 And(But) 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
 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
