(Verse)
On these American nights, that's when we all go out
That's when we feel alive, that's when the tops go down
I break a dolla at the bar & make the jukebox sing
So tell Rosie what u want, the first round's on me

(Chorus)
We're goin' to light up these streets, baby
Shake the dust off your dreams, baby
We're gonna lose a lil sleep, baby
On these American nights

(Verse 2)
Under the stars & shops we live in doubt with our friends
There's nothing we can't do, as soon as our sun sets
I'm goin' to find you girl, I'm goin' to try & make u laugh
And once she kiss me without look I'm gonna take her hand

(Chorus)
Cos' everythin' about her reminds me
Of all the broken romance behind me
I'm givin' luv anotha chance to find me
On these American nights

(Bridge)
Days like these don't come up any higher
We've got main street lid up like a fire
Nothin' compares to breathin' the air
When I'm back in my hometown
Someday my kids will run like I did
On these streets & ole' play grounds

(Bridge)
I want to drive all night, turn up the radio loud
Luv's hangin' in the breeze, I shut the whole world out

(Chorus)
So come & ride with me, baby
I'm savin' u the front seat, baby
Feeling nothing but free, baby
On these American nights
