Lyrics
American Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's an American boy with his hair combed back
He's gonna buy himself a nice new car
He's gonna marry one of them pretty cookin' wives
And die alone alone in a big old house
Oh, he was an American boy.
He gonna get a job that pays real well
Go on vacation every year
Have a fine young boy for the N.F.L.
All without having to shed a tear,
Oh, he was an American boy
Yea, the American boy is older now
He's been shortened by the weight on his back
He finally takes a look around to see.
There were a lot of other things that he could have been.
Oh, he was an American boy
