American Boy
When I was younger
Dreamt of running
Move to Paris
Europe summers
Who'd have thought that
Plans get dropped
When I met you
When I met you?
Life is funny
Grow up learning
All you're meant to is
Chasing money
Who'd have thought that
Plans get dropped
When I met you?
When I met you
Another day
Another night
Another thing I figured out
That changed my mind
Thought I had all of it down 'til I met you
Turned a new page in my book
Like you said to
Our trip to California
Led us to Arizona
Drank coffee in Hawaii
And boatin' in Puerto Rico
Our holidays in Georgia
Went ski in Colorado
American Boy
Took pictures of New York
And learned Spanish In Miami
Sipped Tennessee whiskey
Hopped the Texas the border
Keep cashing out in Vegas
And hit the Grand Canyon
American Boy
This Georgia boy with
Dreams of leaving
Found his peace in
U.S. streets
Where life is green and
Built on freedom
Red white and blue
Red white and blue
Another day
Another night
Another place I visited
That changed my life
Thought I had all of it down 'til I met you
Turned a new page in my book like you said to
Our trip to California
Led us to Arizona
Drank coffee in Hawaii
And boatin' in Puerto Rico
Our holidays in Georgia
Went ski in Colorado
American Boy
Took pictures of New York
And learned Spanish In Miami
Sipped Tennessee whiskey
Hopped the Texas the border
Keep cashing out in Vegas
And hit the Grand Canyon
American Boy
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
American Boy
