I want a live in a place with a near vacant building. Turn on the radio and hear my man Willie. Friday night football stand up and cheer. Go where I want a go I'm a free man here. I'm an American boy. Drive me a chevy ain't got no Peugeot. My older brother was a gi-joe. Red white and blue from my head to my. Toes I'm an American boy. My little brother watched Saturday morning cartoons. I mowed the front lawn in the afternoon. Fixin' up my car working for a livin'. Drive down to the sea shore lookin' at the pretty women. I'm an American boy. Drive me a chevy ain't got no Peugeot. My older brother was a gi-joe. Red white and blue from my head to my. Toes. I'm an American boy. (He has words speeches by Martin Luther King, JFK., & Neil Armstrong playing here.) I'm an American boy I buy American. I'm an American boy yes I am. I'm an American boy I'll die an American. I'm an American boy. Drive me a chevy ain't got no Peugeot. My older brother was a gi-joe. Red white and blue from my head to my. Toes. I'm an American boy I buy American. I'm an American boy I'll die an American. I'm an American boy. I'm an American boy. Coast to coast I'm an American boy. Just like apple pies and Vega's I'm an American boy. Yeah I'm an American boy. I eye I'm an American boy. Ooh oooh I'm an American boy.
