American Boy Lyrics

He's an American boy with his hair combed back
He's gonna buy himself a nice new car

He's gonna get a job that pays real well
Go on vacation every year

All without having to she'd a tear.
Oh, he was an American boy

Yeah, the American boy is older now
He's been shortened by the weight on his back
He finally takes a look around to see.
There were a lot of other things that he could have been.
Oh, he was an American boy.
