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
