Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a 45 spinnin' on an old Victrola
I'm a two-strike swinger, I'm a Pepsi Cola
I'm a blue-jean quarterback sayin', "I love you" to the prom queen
In a Chevy
I'm John Wayne, Superman, California
I'm a Kris Kristofferson Sunday mornin'
I'm a mama and daddy singin' along to Don McLean
At the levee
[Chorus]
I'm a child of a backseat freedom
Baptized by rock 'n' 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
[Verse 2]
I'm Mark Twain on the Mississippi
I'm Hemingway with a shot of whiskey
I'm a TV dinner on a tray tryna figure out
The Wheel of Fortune
I'm a Texaco star, I'm a Gibson guitar
Still a teenage kid tryna go too far
I'm a jukebox waitin' in a neon bar
For a quarter
[Chorus]
I'm a child of a backseat freedom
Baptized by rock 'n' 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
[Instrumental]
I spent a lot of years runnin' from Jesus
Lookin' for another way to save my soul
The longer I live, the more I believe it
There's only one way home
[Chorus]
I'm a child of a backseat freedom
Baptized by rock 'n' 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
