[00:15.200]I'm a 45 spinning on an old Victrola
[00:18.230]I'm a two strike swinger, I'm a Pepsi cola
[00:21.360]I'm a blue jean quarterback saying "I love you" to the prom queen in a Chevy
[00:30.630]I'm John Wayne, Superman, California
[00:31.430]I'm a Kris Kristofferson Sunday morning
[00:32.680]I'm a mom and daddy singing along to Don McLean at the Levy
[00:38.370]And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
[00:43.810]Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
[00:49.280]Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
[00:55.360]And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
[01:04.580]Hey, hey
[01:07.790]Everything I needed

[01:12.210]I'm Mark Twain on the Mississippi
[01:15.040]I'm Hemingway with a shot of whiskey
[01:17.620]I'm a TV dinner on a tray trying to figure out the Wheel of Fortune
[01:23.060]I'm a Texaco star, I'm a Gibson guitar
[01:26.100]I'm still a teenage kid trying to go too far
[01:29.070]I'm a jukebox waiting in a neon bar for a quarter
[01:33.150]And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
[01:40.740]Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
[01:45.800]Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
[01:52.740]And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
[02:08.870]I spent a lot of years running from believing, looking for another way to save my soul
[02:14.040]The longer I live, the more I see it: there's only one way home
[02:24.300]And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
[02:30.040]Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
[02:35.670]Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
[02:41.190]And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
[02:52.850]And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
[02:58.050]Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
[03:05.000]Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
[03:09.680]And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
