When she was a girl she swore she’d marry John Wayne/ Live out her life in the country in some beautiful place/ Mesmerized by his confidence, how he fought for his name, how he treated a lady and that sly cowboy face
Her momma warned her, stay away from them/ They’re only a bunch of ramblin’ men/ They’ll break your heart just like your daddy did/ Her mama said he was no different than them
She met a boy out at the bar/ He said he loved her name/ Asked if she wanted to get out of this place/ So he drove her down to the river bank/ She bet everything she had on that cowboy face
The sun came up and just like a cowboy, he rode away in that silver Chevrolet
When she was a girl she swore she’d marry John Wayne/ Live out her life in the country in some beautiful place/ Well, I broke her heart just like I knew I would/ But I swear I never knew about that boy she raised with my cowboy face
He has my cowboy face
