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
Well, 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’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
Still a teenage kid trying to go too far
I’m a jukebox waiting in a neon bar for a quarter
Well, 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
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
Yeah, 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
yeah, yeah yeah, oh, 3:16
Yeah, Yeah
Found out everything I needed to know

another great one from Keith, blessings to all

Of course, I needed to check my comment and spell 'believing' correctly.

Love this song but listen to it again, Matt. You got some of the lyrics wrong. For instance, it's "I spent a lot of years running from BELIEVING, looking for a way to save my soul..." Thanks for your effort anyway of getting this out there.

No worries. It was off the hard to hear video but now we have the actual lyrics. :)
