American Boy

(album: Jersey Boy - 1990)

I wanna live in a place where they name their kids Billy.
Turn on the radio, and hear my man Willie.
Friday night football, stand up and cheer.
Go where I wanna go, I'm a free man here!

I'm an American boy,
Drive me a Chevy, ain't got no Peugot,
My older brother was a GI Joe
Red White and Blue from my head to my toes.

I'm an American boy.

My little brother watches Saturday morning cartoons,
I mow the front lawn, in the afternoon
Fixing up my car, workin for a livin
Drive down to the seashore, lookin at the pretty women

I'm an American boy,
Drive me a Chevy, ain't got no Peugot,
My older brother was a GI Joe
Red White and Blue from my head to my toes.

I'm an American boy.
[voice mix including Martin Luther King Jr.]
I'm an American boy.
(I buy American)
I'm an American boy.
(Yes I am)
I'm an American boy.
(I'll die an American)

I'm an American boy,
Drive me a Chevy, ain't got no Peugot,
My older brother was a GI Joe
Red White and Blue from my head to my toes.

I'm an American boy.
(I buy American)
I'm an American boy.
(I'll die an American)
I'm an American boy.
I'm an American boy.
(Coast to coast)
I'm an American boy.
(Just like apple pie baby)
I'm an American boy. Yeah.
I'm an American boy.
Eye eye I'm an American boy.
I'm an American boy.
