American Child

I am an American child
On the highway to hell
I was born to be wild
And I am an American kid
Trying hard not to do what my daddy did
And I like American chicks
All the other girls just make me sick*
I'm out living and loving
Working for nothing
As long as I live I'll keep on truckin'
Looking for some action
Satisfaction
And I'm on my way
Ain't no lookin' back
And that's what I say
Hey hey hey
I've got American soul
Driving my '65 GTO
I'm on the highway sailing
Drinking and nailing
As long as I live I'll keep on wailing
And the red, red, white and blue
Baby I love you
And I love your body too
I wanna oh
I wanna rock and roll
I love you and I hit the road
Looking for some action
Satisfaction
And I'm on my way
Ain't no lookin' back
And that's what I say
Hey hey hey
Looking for some action
Satisfaction
And I'm on my way
Ain't no lookin' back
And that's what I say
I ain't no...????
