American boy
Living life as it goes.
Sittin on a fence post
Livin in a lie.
American boy
Livin in a real world.
Tryin just to get the girl
Tryin to survive.
The simple things in life are always new
Growing up on Sand Hill Avenue.
And mama makes her cookies and daddy’s just
The greatest living hero that ever was.
Nothing in this world can ever once destroy
The hope of an American boy.
Livin off of bar tips
Tryin for relationships.
Lookin for love.
Suddenly rise
An American beauty
Suddenly the heat chills
Sent from above.
The simple things in life are always new
Growing up on Sand Hill Avenue.
And mama makes her cookies and daddy’s just
The greatest living hero that ever was.
Nothing in the world can ever once destroy
The dream of an American boy.
American boy
Raising little babies
Hearing “Daddy, maybe
I’ll be like you.”
Suddenly life
Seems just like a new dawn
That's grown up
American boy.
The simple things in life are always new
Growing up on Grand View Avenue.
And mama makes her cookies and daddy’s just
The greatest living hero that ever was.
Nothing in this world will ever once destroy
No, nothing in this world will ever once destroy
The hope of an American boy.
