John Wayne
I never knew my mother's dad
He was just a ghost in a photograph
But what I heard, I would've liked him
His only crime was loving a woman
With a ring on her hand
Just like that, my mom grew up without a dad
More than a whole generation left with a hole in our past
Just like them, I wanna know
John Wayne
April 18th, 1972
Mr Woods finally learned the truth
John Wayne drove his cab to the bar
Met Virginia, got a drink, then they left in his car
Was only a matter of time
Mr Woods showed up, and what did he find
The bartender said she left with John Wayne
And it didn't look like they would be coming back again
Just like that, my mom grew up without a dad
More than a whole generation left with a hole in our past, and
Just like them, I wanna know
John Wayne
He broke in and hid behind the door
His crooked heart couldn't take anymore
John Wayne and Virginia strolled in, with loving on their minds
They didn't even notice him
As they laid in the bed
Mr Woods came out, waiving a gun above their heads and said
Virginia you're dead
He said take me, instead
He was just a ghost in a photograph
But what I heard, I would've liked him
His only crime was loving a woman
With a ring on her hand
Just like that, my mom grew up without a dad
More than a whole generation left with a hole in our past
Just like them, I wanna know
John Wayne
April 18th, 1972

And it didn't look like they would be coming back again
Just like that, my mom grew up without a dad
More than a whole generation left with a hole in our past, and
Just like them, I wanna know

He broke in and hid behind the door
His crooked heart couldn't take anymore

He said take me, instead
