I met John Wayne and Jesus when I was just a
kid
G C
They both had on their cowboy hats just like I
pictured them
G C
I stood up at the front of the class waving my
American Flag
G D G
saying the pledge sang amber waves of grain.
[Chorus]
C D G
I sing all the songs of America
C D G
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
C D G Em
I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
C D G
and I know that is as good as life can get
[Verse]
G C
I had a big time when I was down in Houston
G C
I fell in love and I moved to New Orleans
G C
Well, she said "so long" and I'm here all alone
G D C
She's still got a little bitty piece of me
[Chorus]
C D G
I sing all the songs of America
C D G
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
C D G Em
I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
C D G
and I know that is as good as life can get
[Verse]
G C
Well John Wayne and Jesus moved to Hollywood
G C
Workin' behind the scenes on MTV
G C
Me I'm still right down here in Texas
G D C
I know that's where I was always meant to be
[Chorus]
C D G
I sing all the songs of America
C D G
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
C D G Em
I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
C D G
and I know that is as good as life can get
