Like John Wayne (Wild West Edition)
She was 18, maybe 19
She had just dropped out of college
She was a waitress in a restaurant
On the edge of town
I was young, dumb, maybe 21
Thirsty for the sting and sweetness from
The honey bee in front of me
Hey
Yeah maybe one day
Like lightning most unusual
Reacquainted by a mutual friend
Like something you'd see on TV
Yeah TV
The heavens thundered
And no man could part asunder this
Glorious union yeah baby
We were meant to be
One day like John Wayne
I stepped into the tragic mystery of this
Small-town beauty queen
That never got a crown
And all the bad boys and villains
Yeah all the cold hard killing
They don't come around no more
Baby they don't come around
One day
Wedding bells quit ringing
Life's low blows came out swinging
And the hero that she thought she had
Proved to be a clown
The hellish circumstances
They left us with a snowball's chances
Of ever getting anywhere
But this one-horse town
But then one day
I was saved
And I became your hero
Babe
And you deserve this happiness
The very best
One day like John Wayne
I stepped into the tragic mystery of this
Home-town beauty queen
That never got a crown
And all the bad boys and villains
All the stone-cold killing
They don't come around no more
Baby they don't come around
They don't come around no more
Don't come around
She had just dropped out of college
She was a waitress in a restaurant
On the edge of town
I was young, dumb, maybe 21
Thirsty for the sting and sweetness from
The honey bee in front of me
Hey
Yeah maybe one day
Like lightning most unusual
Reacquainted by a mutual friend
Like something you'd see on TV
Yeah TV
The heavens thundered
And no man could part asunder this
Glorious union yeah baby
We were meant to be
One day like John Wayne
I stepped into the tragic mystery of this
Small-town beauty queen
That never got a crown
And all the bad boys and villains
Yeah all the cold hard killing
They don't come around no more
Baby they don't come around
One day
Wedding bells quit ringing
Life's low blows came out swinging
And the hero that she thought she had
Proved to be a clown
The hellish circumstances
They left us with a snowball's chances
Of ever getting anywhere
But this one-horse town
But then one day
I was saved
And I became your hero
Babe
And you deserve this happiness
The very best
One day like John Wayne
I stepped into the tragic mystery of this
Home-town beauty queen
That never got a crown
And all the bad boys and villains
All the stone-cold killing
They don't come around no more
Baby they don't come around
They don't come around no more
Don't come around
