I’m a 45 spinning on an old Victrola

I’m a two-strike swinger, I’m a Pepsi Cola

I’m a blue jean quarterback saying I love you

to the prom queen in a Chevy

I’m John Wayne, Superman, California

I’m a Kris Kristofferson, Sunday morning

I’m a mama and daddy singing along to Don McLean at the levy

And, I’m a child of a backseat freedom

baptized by rock and roll

Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden

Never grow up, never grow old

Just another rebel in the great wide open

on a boulevard of broken dreams

And I learned everything I needed to know from

I’m Mark Twain on the Mississippi

I’m Hemingway with a shot of whiskey

I’m a TV dinner on a tray trying to figure

out the Wheel Of Fortune

I’m a Texaco star, I’m a Gibson guitar

I"m Still a teenage kid trying to go too far

I’m a jukebox waiting in a neon bar for a quarter

And, I’m a child of a backseat freedom

baptized by rock and roll

Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden

Never grow up, never grow old

Just another rebel in the great wide open

on a boulevard of broken dreams

And I learned everything I needed to know from

John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16

I spent a lot of years running from believing

Looking for another way to save my soul

The longer I live the more I see it

There’s only one way home

(2x)

And, I’m a child of a backseat freedom

baptized by rock and roll

Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden

Never grow up, never grow old

Just another rebel in the great wide open

on a boulevard of broken dreams

And I learned everything I needed to know from
