(Austin Cunningham/Jerry Boonstra/Doak Snead)

What do you want me to say
What coice do I have anyway
I'll have to live with the fact

That when you leave you won't look back
While I die inside with every step you take

(So) Go ahead and ride off into the sunset
Don't show your cards, don't show your pain
Keep telling yourself it's either me or your freedom
And leave me a memory that won't ever fade
Like John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
Feels as lonesome as
John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away

You cut through my life like the wind
Your kiss still burns on my skin
And ever jagged piece of my broken heart still beats
For the day, for the chance
I might see you again

(So) Go ahead and ride off into the sunset
Don't show your cards, don't show your pain
Keep telling yourself it's either me or your freedom
And leave me a memory that won't ever fade
Like John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
It's gonna haunt me like
John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away

You were larger than life
And God knows how hard I'll try
But I"m never gonna love this way again

It's like John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
It's gonna haunt me like
John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
It kills me baby
Just like John Wayne walking away
It's gonna haunt me, yeah
Just like John Wayne walking away
Kills me baby, oh, oh, oh
It's like John Wayne walking away
It's like John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away- Ooo, Ooo
