American Spirit
I got 50 milliliters of fireball whisky in the bottom of my bag
where you asked me to keep it
I've been doing some thinking 'bout this past weekend
and the 7: 30 drive from where I left you sleeping, baby
How you took my hand and said "hey, I need someone.
Would you be my someone tonight?"
Held me tight, said "this feels right. Sometimes things just do"
You said "shit, one day I could marry you"
American spirits and the fathers who leave 'me
Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces catching girls like me, they think they've found it in the morning they're gone, cause we're not what they needed and we'll never be
Oh oh we'll never be
Oh I'll never be
But I'm still falling
I'm flashing back to meeting your mother
You were so hurt and she couldn't make it better
You screamed and she yelled 'till it all came out
So much love no ones figured out, so I held you
So somebody had you.
And I still got you
American spirits and the fathers who leave 'me
Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces catching girls like me, they think they've found it in the morning they're gone, cause we're not what they needed and we'll never be
Oh oh we'll never be
Oh I'll never be
But I'm still falling
you got the name of a girl tattooed on your neck
I wonder what she's like, does she love you well?
I was thinking 'bout your funeral and how we'll all have one
Would it be strange if I came?
Since none of your friends know my name
American spirits and the fathers who leave 'me
Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces catching girls like me, they think they've found it in the morning they're gone, cause we're not what they needed and we'll never be
Oh oh we'll never be
Oh I'll never be
But I'm still falling
where you asked me to keep it
I've been doing some thinking 'bout this past weekend
and the 7: 30 drive from where I left you sleeping, baby
How you took my hand and said "hey, I need someone.
