"Jesus And John Wayne" lyrics - GAITHER VOCAL BAND

Daddy was a cowboy, hard as a rock
Momma, she was quiet as a prayer
Daddy'd always tell me, "Son, you gotta be tough"
Momma'd kiss my cheek and say play fair

I did my best to make 'em proud of me
But it's never been an easy place to be

Somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
A cowboy and a saint, crossing the open range
I try to be more like You, Lord but most days I know I ain't
I'm somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne

Momma's love was tender, Daddy's love was strong
But both of them were there to help the weak
They taught me to stand up and fight for what is right
Showed me how to turn the other cheek

Since there's a bit of both of them in me
Then maybe that's the best that I can ever hope to be

Somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
A cowboy and a saint, crossing the open range
I try to be more like You, Lord but most days I know I ain't
I'm somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne

Yeah, I'm somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
A cowboy and a saint, crossing the open range
I try to be more like You, Lord but most days I know I ain't
I'm somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
Yeah, I'm somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
