Dan Huff - John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16 lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a 45 spinning on an old Victrola I'm a two-strike swinger, I'm a Pepsi Cola I'm a blue jean quarterback saying "I love you" to the prom queen In a Chevy I'm John Wayne, Superman, California I'm a Kris Kristofferson, Sunday morning I'm a mama and daddy singing along to Don McLean At the levee [Chorus] And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old Just another rebel in the great wide open on a boulevard of broken dreams And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16 [Post-Chorus] Hey, hey Everything I needed That's right [Verse 2] I'm Mark Twain on the Mississippi I'm Hemingway with a shot of whiskey I'm a TV dinner on a tray trying to figure out the Wheel of Fortune I'm a Texaco star, I'm a Gibson guitar I'm still a teenage kid trying to go too far I'm a jukebox waiting in a neon bar for a quarter [Chorus] And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old Just another rebel in the great wide open on a boulevard of broken dreams And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16 [Bridge] I spent a lot of years running from believing Looking for another way to save my soul The longer I live, the more I see it There's only one way home [Chorus] And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old Another rebel in the great wide open on a boulevard of broken dreams And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16 Oh, I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old (never grow old) Another rebel in the great wide open on a boulevard of broken dreams And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16 [Outro] (John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16) Everything I needed (John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16) Everything I needed (John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16) Oh, that's right
