Duke

"John Wayne was my hero" I said
That caught you by surprise
Drunkard's tale and bourbon on the bed
Patriot's prayer for demise

Marion, dear, "He'll make it make it far"
Winterset's very own
Golden age afterglow
A trademark superstar

Front row seat to Newport Beach
Give them space to mourn
They have lost their father too
Stagecoach silently sworn

Archetype for every man
Please don't look behind the door
Was a loaded gun her plan
Hollywood underscore

Congressmen will rave about you
Bronze statues lay around you
170 just for one
Clyde's beloved son

Placard for the loathing done in quiet
Kerosene outrage and soldier's remorse
To breathe in the dust you kicked
Kindness was never your sport
After all
