Eliza Gilkyson - An American Boy lyrics
rate mePost 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
