Mini-critique N°187

Paroles :

It's like, I just love a cowboy, you know

I'm just like, I just, I know, it's bad

But I'm just like, can I just like, hang off the back of your horse

And can you go a little faster?

3 a.m., Mustang speedin'

Two lovers, headed for a dead end

Too fast, hold tight, he laughs

Runnin' through the red lights

Hollerin' over, rubber spinnin'

Big swig, toss another beer can

Too lit, tonight, prayin' on the moonlight

Every John is just the same

I'm sick of their city games

I crave a real wild man

I'm strung out on John Wayne

Baby let's get high, John Wayne

(Dat-doo-deet-doe-deet)

(Dat-doo-deet-doe)

Baby let's get high, John Wayne

Blue collar and a red-state treasure

Love junkie on a three-day bender

His grip, so hard, eyes glare

Trouble like a mug shot

Charged up, 'cause the man's on a mission

One, two ya, the gears are shiftin'

He called, I cried, we broke

Racin' through the moonlight

Every John is just the same

I'm sick of their city games

I crave a real wild man

I'm strung out on John Wayne

Baby let's get high, John Wayne

(Dat-doo-deet-doe-deet)

(Dat-doo-deet-doe)

Baby let's get high, John Wayne

So, here I go through the eye of the storm

Just to feel your love

Knock me over

Here I go into our love storm

Baby let's get high, John Wayne

(Dat-doo-deet-doe-deet)

(Dat-doo-deet-doe)

Baby let's get high, John Wayne

Critique :

Selon Internet, le nom vient de l'acteur américain John Wayne, connu pour ses rôles dans des westerns. Les paroles évoquent le désir romantique de Gaga pour un ouvrier excentrique et sa consommation de cannabis . Certains critiques ont estimé que ''John Wayne'' pourrait illustrer la relation de Gaga avec son ex-fiancé Taylor Kinney.
