John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
[Verse 1]I'm a 45 spinning on an old VictrolaI'm a two strike swinger, I'm a Pepsi ColaI'm a blue jean quarterback saying "I love you" to the prom queenIn a ChevyI'm John Wayne, Superman, CaliforniaI'm a Kris Kristofferson Sunday morningI'm a mom and daddy singing along to Don McLeanAt the levee
[Chorus]And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and rollMarilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow oldJust another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreamsAnd I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
[Post-Chorus]Hey, heyEverything I neededThat's right
[Verse 2]I'm Mark Twain on the MississippiI'm Hemingway with a shot of whiskeyI'm a TV dinner on a tray trying to figure out the Wheel of FortuneI'm a Texaco star, I'm a Gibson guitarI'm still a teenage kid trying to go too farI'm a jukebox waiting in a neon bar for a quarter
[Chorus]
[Bridge]I spent a lot of years running from believing, looking for another way to save my soulThe longer I live, the more I see it: there's only one way home
[Chorus x2]
[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)That's right
