Stan Ridgway - Harry truman lyrics

rate me

John Wayne was always bald

And he had a woman's name

Valentino was a momma's boy

He cried in his tent all night long

And Harry Truman finally dropped the bomb

So they could go to sleep at night

So they could go to sleep at night

I got a plaque up on the wall

And an office in the sky

I give birth to major deals

Lookin' down on the passersby

I pass the torch, I follow the code

I'm steerin' straight ahead, I don't stray from the road

To be a warrior with a king

To put your hand in the flame without burning

And go to sleep at night

And go to sleep at night

And go to sleep at night

John Wayne was always bald

And he had a woman's name

Valentino was a momma's boy

I cried in my tent all night long

And Harry Truman finally dropped the bomb3

So I could go to sleep at night

So I could go to sleep at night

Now, go to sleep...
