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 levy
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
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
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
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
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 (2x)
