Watch a Behind the Scenes Video of Keith Urban's "John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16"
One of country music superstar Keith Urban's fastest chart rising single is his brand new song "John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16." The song is written Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman, and Josh Osborne. Above is a video of the behind the scenes look at the recording of the song which showcases the recording process.
The song debuted on the Hot Country Songs at No. 47 the week before its official release, and reached no. 24 the following week. It also debuted on Country Airplay at No. 26, and at No. 7 on the Country Digital Songs chart with 36,000 copies sold in the US.
Lyrically, the song uses several name-drops to illustrate the narrator's influences in life, culminating in "I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, and John 3:16." Musically, it features a "slowed, almost '70s funk vibe with distinct drum loops and several time changes".
The song was released to radio on 9 June 2015, and Urban performed it the next day on the CMT Music Awards.
Here are the lyrics:
I'm a 45 spinning on an old Victrola
I'm a two strike swinger, I'm a Pepsi cola
I'm a blue jean quarterback saying "I love you" to the prom queen in a Chevy
I'm John Wayne, Superman, California
I'm a Kris Kristofferson Sunday morning
I'm a mom and daddy singing along to Don McLean at the Levy
And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
Hey, hey
Everything I needed
That's right
I'm Mark Twain on the Mississippi
I'm Hemingway with a shot of whiskey
I'm a TV dinner on a tray trying to figure out the Wheel of Fortune
I'm a Texaco star, I'm a Gibson guitar
I'm still a teenage kid trying to go too far
I'm a jukebox waiting in a neon bar for a quarter
And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
I spent a lot of years running from believing, looking for another way to save my soul
The longer I live, the more I see it: there's only one way home
And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old, no
Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
Oh I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
(John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16)
Everything I needed
(John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16)
Everything I needed
(John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16)
That's alright
