Lyrics of John Wayne by Cigarettes After Sex
verse
He′s got so much love for her,
But he doesn't know what to do
Sitting in the car waiting outside her school
He′s in for a heartbreak if it's all been blind faith from my
point of view
chorus
Baby, he's got to be crazy
Living like he′s John Wayne
Always facing the world or chasing the girl
Baby, he′s got to be crazy
verse
He's got so much in his heart
But he doesn′t know what to do
All he wants is her lying inside his room
He's always feeling cheated telling all his secrets that I
couldn′t keep
chorus
Baby, he's got to be crazy
Living like he′s John Wayne
Always facing the world or chasing the girl
Baby, he's got to be crazy
Baby, he's got to be crazy
Living like he′s John Wayne
Always facing the world or chasing the girl
Baby, he′s got to be crazy
