American Way

I've seen God's children in trailer parks Seen Caddies cruisin' for movie stars A ruby saddle in a neon sky And a southern town even time passed by I watched the sun fall down in the canyons I nearly met my maker in LA I thought I'd seen it all Until she showed me the American way Oh, the American way Well I woke up to a brand new day The American way Flyin' J shone a light on me Like my one true friend I was happy to be On a diamond highway rollin' on As we drove through the night the radio sang along I had a crisis out on the back road I spent eternity on the freeway And I was truly lost Until she showed me the American way Oh, the American way Well she forced me on my knees to pray The American way Shine on me Home of the brave Shine on us all Land of the free Won't you shine on I've seen an angel drink from the bottle I heard everything she had to say But I know I knew nothing Until she showed me the American way Oh, the American way Well I woke up to a brand new day And she forced me on my knees to pray And I swear I heard Superman Tellin' me it's OK It's the American way Oh, the American way, the American way Here she comes Here she comes Here she comes here she comes
