John Wayne

(альбом: Spray Painted Line - 2022)

Something bout the way you're laying there
With nothing but the morning light on
Looking like the reason for every money line in a Conway song
Got me contemplating, thinking on what life would be like without you in it
And how it'd sure be something sho nuff
But something sure as hell'd be missing

It'd be like the Marlboro man with nothing to smoke
Like ol' Cheyenne without a rodeo
A Friday honky tonk without a drop to drink
That'd be like Buck without that Bakersfield sound
Like the Rio Grande without a border town
If I didn't have you nothing'd be same
Like the Wild Wild West without John Wayne

Like a boat up a creek without a paddle
No doubt yeah that'd be me
Like a movie with no ending
A Telecaster bending without strings
All I'm trying to say is I really ain't nothing baby without you
Like a bar without a stool like an outlaw without boots

It'd be like the Marlboro man with nothing to smoke
Like ol' Cheyenne without a rodeo
A Friday honky tonk without a drop to drink
That'd be like Buck without that Bakersfield sound
Like the Rio Grande without a border town
If I didn't have you nothing'd be same
Like the Wild Wild West without John Wayne

It'd be like the silver screen in Hollywood
That's never seen the Duke
It'd be like the bad guys always win
And heroes always lose

It'd be like the Marlboro man with nothing to smoke
Like ol' Cheyenne without a rodeo
A Friday honky tonk without a drop to drink
That'd be like Buck without that Bakersfield sound
Like the Rio Grande without a border town
If I didn't have you nothing'd be same
Like the Wild Wild West without John Wayne

Ooh
Without John Wayne
