about

This is one of my story songs about a celestial traveler. It could happen.....

lyrics

John Wayne Heart

He was standing on the ramp of exit 64 holding up a sign made of cardboard
saying anywhere at all will work for me
She was driving in to town to her dead end job serving late night coffee to the shipyard crowd with nothing to show but an unfinished degree
She said i’ll give you a ride but only so far
he said drop me off at the nearest star
the Milky Way is looking pretty good to me
She said I could use some space between me and here I’ve got nothing to leave except a whole lot of fear could you use some conversation and company
and he said

You don’t have to be strong as stone or steady as steel
or take the world by force with an iron will cause the best made plans can fall apart
all you need are wings and a John Wayne Heart

He asked what kind of life are you dreaming of
is it white picket fences and a house full of love 401 k’s and yearly vacations
or floating on the breeze with no strings attached counting your blessings not what you lack
you can be content in every situation
I’ve got room for two in my head
we can sleep together or in separate beds
all you got to do is use your imagination
she said nothing but failure holds me down and keeps me anchored to this damn town with the should’ve’s could’ve’s and would’ve’s
reservations
and he said

Chorus
