Lyrics
John Wayne (M. Bennett, J. D'Agostino, J Eustice)
Last night I watched another fallen star sent to rehab
Then flipped right past a football coach in a new viagra ad
Reality TV is stealing my heroes away
Now dudes are ballroom dancing, tanning and baking cupcakes
Oh God, I got this feeling
We're heading off the deep end
What happened to the real men
It's like we're stuck in slo-mo
Where did all the cowboys go
Testosterone is runnin' low,
You know it ain't my nature to complain
But God, please bring us back John Wayne?
I Remember when Ol' Glory was as sacred as a prayer
No pressing "2" for English when our Country had a pair
Now politicians promise us that change is round' the bend
Then strip down to their birthday suits, smile and click send
Chorus
Bridge
You'd never catch him earrings,
getting piercings or a crucifix tattoo
He'd just saddle up his horse
Kick this country back on course
With courage, conviction and the truth
Yeah that's why he's the Duke!
Repeat chorus: "But God..."
Tag
I don't mean to make a big fuss, but while we're waitin' on Jesus
God, I beg you ..... bring us back John Wayne
