John Wayne Marathon
Performed by Bale Harrison & The Field Hands
Verse 1
Well, Channel 8’s startin’ a John Wayne show,
I’m grabbin’ my boots, I’m ready to go.
The Duke’s ridin’ tall, and the west’s wide open,
I’ll be sittin’ here with a beer, just hopin’.
A marathon’s on, clear the whole day,
Got myself a front-row seat for John Wayne.
Chorus
It’s a John Wayne marathon, saddle up tight,
The Duke’s ridin’ in, and he’s ready to fight.
We got True Grit and The Searchers on tap,
I’ll be watchin’ the Duke while I lean back.
Channel 8’s playin’ from dusk till dawn,
So grab your hat ‘cause the Duke’s comin’ on.
Verse 2
There’s a showdown waitin’ in black and white,
John Wayne’s takin’ on the wrong and the right.
The cattle are drivin’, the dust is flyin’,
A day with the Duke? No use denyin’.
I’ve cleared my schedule, no work, no chores,
Just me and the cowboy ridin’ for more.
Chorus
It’s a John Wayne marathon, settle right in,
Gonna watch him ride out where the legends begin.
Stagecoach, Rio Bravo, Red River too,
It’s a full day of Wayne, through and through.
Channel 8’s got him all day long,
With John Wayne ridin’, you can’t go wrong.
Bridge
The shootouts are comin’, the outlaws are near,
But with John in the saddle, there’s nothin’ to fear.
The Duke’s got his hat and his steady hand,
I’m locked in for the best in the land.
Chorus
It’s a John Wayne marathon, a cowboy’s dream,
Every western is like a wild river stream.
Channel 8’s showin’ the legend in stride,
So I’m kickin’ back for the long Duke ride.
Outro
So here’s to John Wayne, and Channel 8 too,
For bringin’ the wild west right into view.
I’ll be watchin’ all day with a smile and cheer,
John Wayne’s ridin’, and I’m parked right here.
