Eliza Gilkyson - An American Boy lyrics

rate me

Post the pictures on my Facebook site

A shooting star in a long dark day

…thunder in his hands

My parents wonder if I’m doin’ alright

Keepin’ the case locked up tight

With a kid hanging there in plain sight

While I’m making my plan

Won’t be long before the time has come

I will be staying in the hot bath tub

Baby somewhere there’s a lasting joy

An American boy, American boy

Stop the world, how that would be?

Shining pearl waiting there for me

All the girls that care for me

A future I could own

A poisonous whisper in my head

Tell them softly I’ll be better off dead

I’m not gonna go alone

Won’t be long before the time has come

I will be staying in the hot bath tub

Baby somewhere there’s a lasting joy

An American boy, American boy

Won’t be long before the time has come

I will be staying in the hot bath tub

Baby somewhere there’s a lasting joy

An American boy, American boy

Hoping to find him in my basement

Waiting the prom on my Saturday night

But the time isn’t right

But it’s closer now
