American Livin'

(앨범: Still That Kid - 2021)

There ain't much to see here
It's what they say
You just grow up then move away
Cause one red light and white picket fences
Can't cage a wild heart in
Head for the city, make a little money
Find a good girl if you get lucky
One day you'll wake up
And something's gone missing
You'll sure miss the way back when

When life was a Mellencamp song
It was faded blue jeans
On the hood of a hand-me-down Chevy
With all your first best friends
And time says you can't go back
Oh, but just like that
You know what it is you've been missing
Friday night, small town
American living

I sure missed leaving the doors unlocked
Worms on the shovel, fish off the dock
Mud up the fender, let down the window
Hand flying free in the window
I sure liked knowing all my neighbors
Back when I really meant see you later
Football lights and fall county fairs
And kissing on Ferris wheels

When life was a Mellencamp song
It was faded blue jeans
On the hood of a hand-me-down Chevy
With all your first best friends
And time says you can't go back
Oh, but just like that
You know what it is you've been missing
Friday night, small town
American living

And one day
There's a for sale sign on the edge of town
And your roots seem to find their way
Back in the ground

Well, life is a Mellencamp song
It's faded blue jeans
On the hood of a hand-me-down Chevy
With all your first best friends
And time says you can't go back
Oh, but just like that
You get what it is you've been missing
Friday night, small town
American living

A little Friday night, small town living
