On these american nights
That's when we all go out
That's when we feel alive
That's when the tops go down
I break a dollar at the bar
And make the jukebox sing
So tell, Rosie, what you want
The first round's on me
We're gonna light up these streets baby
Shake the dust off your dreams baby
We're gonna lose a little sleep baby
On these american nights!
Under the stars and shops
We live in doubt with our friends
There's nothing we can't do
Soon as our sun sets
I'm gonna find you girl
I'm gonna try and make you laugh
And once she kiss me without look
I'm gonna take her hand
'Cause everything about her reminds me
Of all the broken romance behind me
I'm giving lover another chance to find me
On these american nights!
Days like these don't come up any higher
We've got main street light up like a fire
Nothing compares to breathe in the air
When I'm back in my hometown
Someday my kids will run like I did
On these streets and old playgrounds!
I wanna drive all night
Turn up the radio loud
Love's hanging in the breeze
I shut the whole world out
So come and ride with me baby
I'm saving you the front seat baby
Feeling nothing but free baby
On these american nights!
On these american nights!
