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 marry one of them pretty cookin' wives And die alone alone in a big old house Oh, he was an American boy. He gonna get a job that pays real well Go on vacation every year Have a fine young boy for the N.F.L. All without having to shed a tear, Oh, he was an American boy Yea, 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
