Bill Gaither
Jesus And John Wayne
[Verse 1]
Well, 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"

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I did my best to make them proud of me
But it's never been an easy place to be

[Chorus]
Somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
A cowboy and a Saint, a cross on the open range
Well I try to be more like you, Lord
Most days I know I ain't
I'm somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne

[Verse 2]
Momma's love was tender
Daddy's love was strong
But both of them werе there to help thе weak
They taught me to stand up and fight for what is right
They showed me how to turn the other cheek

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see there's both of them and me
And maybe that's the best I'll ever hope to be
[Chorus]
Somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
A cowboy and a Saint, a cross on the open range
Well I try to be more like you, Lord
Most days I know I ain't
I'm somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne

Well, I'm somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
A cowboy and a Saint, a cross on the open range
Well I try to be more like you, Lord
Most days I know I ain't
Cuz I'm somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
Well I'm stuck somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne
