lyrics

AMERICAN COWBOY


John Wayne was a man's man
Tough as nails and harder than leather
Like a legend carved into stone
Just the same in all kinds of weather

He was an American cowboy
Strong and faithful - red, white and blue
Forever searchin' for someone or something and
Ridin' to the rescue, ridin' to the rescue

John Wayne was a quiet man but
He could always tell wrong from right
Whenever the bad guys faced him down
He'd put up the good fight

He was an American cowboy
Strong and faithful - red, white and blue
Forever searchin' for someone or something and
Ridin' to the rescue, ridin' to the rescue

When trouble would come
He'd ride in and save the day and
When the shootin' was done
He'd just get on his horse...and ride...away...
Ridin' to the rescue...

John Wayne was like every man
Not much different from you or I
Standing up for what matters most
Like Mom and apple pie

He was our American cowboy
Strong and faithful - red, white and blue
Forever searchin' for someone or something and
Riding to the rescue...

John Wayne was a man's man (ridin' to the rescue)
Tough as nails and harder than leather (ridin' to the rescue)
Like a legend carved into stone (ridin' to the rescue)
Still the same in all kinds of weather...

He was an American cowboy
He was an American cowboy...
