The Last Ride of Jesus and John Wayne, a song

The warrior was waiting for Billy the Kid
When he rode into town
He started cursading for the quick and the dead
With a Bible and a gun

He said: Calling all you outlaws
With your promises to keep
There's a way to save your souls
If your man enough to believe

That Billy's riding shotgun
For Jesus and John Wayne
With a pose of his lost boys
Holding up the train
Making deals with the devil
And trading pain for gain
And saddling their horses for the last ride
Of Jesus and John Wayne

The kid told the warrior to reach for the sky
When they take their last stand
To be a good soldier and never say die
And fight for the Promised Land

Calling all you outlaws
With your promises to keep
There's a way to save your souls
If your man enough to believe

That Billy's riding shotgun
For Jesus and John Wayne
With a pose of his lost boys
Holding up the train
Making deals with the devil
And trading pain for gain
And saddling their horses for the last ride
Of Jesus and John Wayne

And you can never let us see
There's a boy insde the man
In the shadows, under lock and key
And you can never let it go
There's a truth inside the child
It's a secret none of us can know

'Cause Billy's riding shotgun
For Jesus and John Wayne
With a pose of his lost boys
Holding up the train
Making deals with the devil
And trading pain for gain
And saddling their horses for the last ride
Of Jesus and John Wayne
