American Kids Songtext

von My Girl Friday

I was born in the Usa
Like my name was Springsteen
I was always lookin' up
To the looks of James Dean
Here's to the friends I made back in my high school days
And to the girls I thought I loved along the way

We grew up on Rock'n'Roll
Livin' life like we'll never get old
Drivin' down to the Mexican border
We get drunk off a couple quarters

Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
We're American kids
Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
Growin' up like this
Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
Not a thing to miss
Like Jack&Diane in the summer time
Just American kids

Been a rebel on the run since I turned 18
I've got a pack of smokes tucked away in my Levi's jeans
Here's to the friends who got it figured out
At least they pretend, Ha!
Here's to the rest of us singin'
What's my age again?

We grew up on Rock'n'Roll
Livin' life like we'll never get old
Night drives to the state side border
Waking up in California

Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
We're American kids
Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
Growin' up like this
Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
Not a thing to miss
Like Jack&Diane in the summer time
Just American kids

We grew up on Rock'n'Roll
Livin' life like we'll never get old
Grab your friends
We got no worries goin' out in New York City

Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
We're American kids
Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
We're American kids
Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
Growin' up like this
Whoaohhh Whoaohhh
Not a thing to miss
Like Jack&Diane in the summer time
Just American kids
Like Jack&Diane in the summer time
Just American kids
