lyrics

Known locally as semi-divine
Wade Jameson Jr was a hero a-mine
Whom even the high winds decline to mess
When it comes to bad men W. Jr was the best

I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
Don’t wanna be me; Wade, I wanna be you

Pubic by ten; swarthy by thirteen
Turned over his cherry to our art teacher Miss Jean
In the year since he’s left many a beauty behind
They now all hum love-songs of the un-requiting kind

I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
Don’t wanna be me; Wade, I wanna be you

When he walks by ladies feel behoved to sit down
Closest thing to handsome that come close to this town
At the state fair he beat the shit out of a bull
Greatest football player to ever attend high school

I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
Don’t wanna be me; Wade, I wanna be you

At 18 he left for one a them foreign wars
When he came back he was more god than was befores
There soon came stories of how his heroism excels
Through sheer persuasion he turned the enemy on their selves

I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
Don’t wanna be me; Wade, I wanna be you

He settled down with his sweetheart B.J. duBoise
They ran a farm economic condition real nice
They bought a big house and a fine piece of earth
Over the years B.J. gave some five boys birth

I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
Don’t wanna be me; Wade, I wanna be you

Don’t hear o’ Wade now; ain’t much around
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Older now but once a hero of mine
I must remember to stop-by - see him some time

I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
I wanna be Wade Jameson Jr
Don’t wanna be me; Wade, I wanna be you
