Bryan Dunn - American lyrics

rate me

I was sold in the streets made of gold

They glitter and gleam, promised an American dream.

And I worked for that shiny new car

The house on the hill, small voices are quiet and still.

Chorus:

American voices, and American songs

American rights and American wrongs

American daughters and American sons

The world is American!

In the world where the pretty young girls laugh where you cry

Smile when they kiss you goodbye

Through the noise of the cynical boys who’ve seen it before

Better ran faster and more!

Chorus:

American voices, and American songs

American rights and American wrongs

American daughters and American sons

The world is American!

I don’t know where you’re going, I don’t care where you’ve been

I don’t know how it started, I know how it ends!

Now believe with my heart on my sleeve

And life lived alone and all of the comforts of home

The patriot man like trees in the wind

Abandon, they break, it’s nothing that keeps me alone!

Chorus: (x2)

American voices, and American songs

American rights and American wrongs

American daughters and American sons

The world is American!

The world is American!

The world is American!
