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
We said the prayers sang amber waves of grain

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 as good as life can get

I had a big time when I was down there in Houston
I fell in love and I moved down to New Orleans
Well,she said so long and I'm here on my own
An she's still got a little bitty piece of me

Yeah,an I sing all the songs of America
Yeah,I danced in the rain in Lafayette
Still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is as good as life can get

I see John Wayne and Jesus they moved out to Hollywood
Workin' behind the scenes on MTV
Me I'm still right down here in Texas
I know that's exactly where I'm supposed to be

Yeah,an I sing all the songs of America
An I dance in the rain in Lafayette
Still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is as good as life get

An I sing all the songs of America
An I dance in the rain in Lafayette,yeah you best
Still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is as good as life can get

This is as good as life can get
