When Are You Going To Stop Being John Boy (And Start Being John Man)

when are you going to stop being John Boy
and start being John Man?
you can't stay on that mountain forever
with Ma and Pa and the clan
writing secrets in your Big Chief tablet
learn some new habits
you have swigged enough lemonade
danced enough square dances
memorized enough Bible verses
to last the rest of your natural born life
I'm ready to be your wife
whenever you're ready to use your own mind
and leave the Walton way of life behind
