I Miss John Wayne

Well, John Wayne ain't in Hollywood today
They replaced him with some cowboys that are gay
And all the thangs that I love
Somebody's screwin' up
Our kids'll be the ones who pay
Well, there are times you can't cash my cheques
That's the only thang that's still the same
These cartoons that they make today
They oughta be ashamed
I miss Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse

And I miss how it used to be
When we could count on bein' free
And George Strait on the radio
I miss all those summer nights
Down by the riverside
With a case of beer and my old '68
No, things today, they just ain't the same
I miss my grandpa, and I miss John Wayne

Well, that man in D.C., he can kiss my ass
He won't leave me be and let me smoke my grass
He likes my money though
Sends it to some other Joe
Who's never worked a day in his whole life
And he says, "we all need a change"
Well, I think he's right, but in the other way
'Cause it ain't about who's rich or poor
It's about the chance for more
Livin' in the good ol' USA

And I miss how it used to be
When we could count on bein' free
With Waylon Jennings on the radio
And I miss all those summer nights
Down by the riverside
With a case of beer and my old '68
No, things today, they just ain't the same
I miss my grandpa, and I miss John Wayne

And I miss 1983
When everyone I loved was still alive
No, things today, they just ain't the same
I miss my Grandpa, and I miss John Wayne
I love you Grandpa, and I miss John Wayne
