Aaron Lines - THE AMERICAN WAY lyrics

rate me

(Aaron Lines/Mark Irwin/Josh Kear)

I grew up under normal conditions

Mom was the radio, Dad was the television

They both were doing the best that they could

Working 50 hour weeks and knocking on wood

I did my time in the public school system

I got good grades, never got a shred of wisdom

Can't blame my teachers for anything they did

You can't teach one on one with 33 kids

Ooh Ooh I'm doing all right

I work every day to get to Saturday night

Ooh Ooh I guess I'm doing O.K.

Living and dying the American way

I found the one, we put some roots down

Got a 2nd mortgage on the outskirts of town

Now we barbecue every 4th of July

Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky

Ooh Ooh I'm doing all right

I work every day to get to Saturday night

Ooh Ooh I guess I'm doing O.K.

Living and loving the American way

These days we're thinking 'bout kids of our own

Gonna turn this house into a home

In no time at all they'll be singing along

Ooh Ooh I'm doing all right

I work every day to get to Saturday night

Ooh Ooh I guess I'm doing O.K.
