Lyrics
John Wayne
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just another 4 wheels on the 2 lane off to work.
Just another lunch box, punch the clock, with my name across my shirt.
Radio spills the news. Superman has got the blues.
I guess you just lose touch. When too much aint enough.
And all that stuff is going to turn to dust and sand... in the end.
But a real man, loves his God and Momma.
Yes a real man is thirsty for the truth.
A real man is faithful to his woman.
Because thats what he saw his Daddy do.
In a world where love and heroes fade away I wanna be John Wayne.
After my day is done. I lay down with my only one.
Girl there aint no holding back the sun.
As I watch her sleeping.
Loves a promise thats worth keeping.
And holding it together. By holding on forever.
Girl that never ever ever let you go. That's my code.
Cuz a real man loves his God and Momma.
Yes a real man is thirsty for the truth.
A real man is faithful to his woman.
Cuz thats what he saw his Daddy do.
In a world where love and heroes fade away.
I wanna be John Wayne.
Woooah, you make me feel strong, so strong.
And a real man, loves his God and Momma.
Yes, a real man is thirsty for the truth.
A real man is faithful to his woman.
Cuz thats what he saw his Daddy do.
In a world where love and heroes fade away.
Woooahh, I wanna ride right in and save the day.
I wanna be John Wayne. I wanna be John Wayne. I wanna be strong. I wanna be John Wayne.
I wanna be John Wayne.
