Gaither Vocal Band Jesus And John Wayne lyrics

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.

Chorus:
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!

Chorus:

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.
