Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know you make me crazy
And my mind is racing
You're wasting all my time
Someone come and save me
Oh yeah
[PreChorus]
'Cause when I need you
I can see through
And I feel you right now
On the highway
Do it my way
And I want you to feel
As I'm going down
[Chorus]
'Cause I am not afraid
And I won't go down in flames
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same
And everything you know
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be John Wayne
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
A cold wind is a chasin'
And you're not gonna face it
The reason's in the rhyme
You walked on what was sacred
Oh yeah
[PreChorus]
And when I need to
I can reach through
And I feel you right now
It's a new day
But your skies are grey
And I want you to feel
When I'm going down
[Chorus]
'Cause I am not afraid
And I won't go down in flames
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same
And everything you know
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be
John Wayne
[Bridge]
Everything you know
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be
John Wayne
[Chorus]
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
And I won't go down in flames
And I won't go down in flames
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same
Nothing's gonna be the same
And everything you know
And everything you know
You keep inside your soul
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be
Tonight I'm gonna be
John Wayne
John Wayne
[Chorus]
I am not afraid
Not afraid
And I won't go down in flames
And I won't go down in flames
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same
And everything you know
Everything you know
You keep inside your soul
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be
Tonight I'm gonna be John Wayne
John Wayne
