[00:14.95]I'm a 45 spinning on an old Victrola
[00:17.86]I'm a two strike swinger, I'm a Pepsi Cola
[00:20.56]I'm a blue jean quarterback saying "I love you" to the prom queen
[00:24.64]In a Chevy
[00:26.11]I'm John Wayne, Superman, California
[00:29.00]I'm a Kris Kristofferson Sunday morning
[00:31.74]I'm a mom and daddy singing along to Don McLean
[00:35.85]At the levee
[00:37.65]And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
[00:42.95]Marilyn Monroe in the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
[00:48.86]Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
[00:54.42]And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3: 16
[01:04.36]Hey, hey
[01:06.92]Everything I needed
[01:09.20]That's right
[01:11.71]I'm Mark Twain on the Mississippi
[01:14.51]I'm Hemingway with a shot of whiskey
[01:17.15]I'm a TV dinner on a tray trying to figure out the Wheel of Fortune
[01:22.37]I'm a Texaco star, I'm a Gibson guitar
[01:25.20]I'm still a teenage kid trying to go too far
[01:27.88]I'm a jukebox waiting in a neon bar for a quarter
[01:33.90]And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
[01:39.42]Marilyn Monroe in the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
[01:45.04]Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
[01:51.27]And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3: 16
[02:07.83]I spent a lot of years running from believing, looking for another way to save my soul
[02:13.39]The longer I live, the more I see it: there's only one way home
[02:23.10]And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
[02:28.92]Marilyn Monroe in the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
[02:34.33]Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
[02:40.30]And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3: 16
[02:52.03]And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
[02:57.53]Marilyn Monroe in the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
[03:03.15]Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
[03:08.77]And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3: 16
[03:17.35](John Cougar, John Deere, John 3: 16)
[03:19.41]Everything I needed
[03:22.66](John Cougar, John Deere, John 3: 16)
[03:25.43]Everything I needed
