American Kids

Doublewide Quick Stop
Midnight tee top
Jack and her cherry Coke town
Momma and Daddy put their roots right here
'Cause this is where the car broke down
Yellow dog school bus
Kickin' up red dust
Pickin' us up by the barbed wire fence
MTV on the RCA
No AC in the vents

We were Jesus saved me
Blue jean baby
Born in the USA

Trailer park truck stop
Big wheel mouth
That's New York to LA
We were teenage dreamin'
Front seat leanin'
Baby come give me a kiss

Put me on the cover of a Rolling Stone
Uptown down home American kids

Growin' up in little pink houses
Makin' out on the livin' room couches
Blowin' that smoke on Saturday night
A little messed up but we're all alright

Baptist church parkin' lot
Tryin' not to get caught
Take her home and give her your jacket
Makin' it to second base
We're sayin' you went all the way
Monday afternoon at practice

Sister's got a boyfriend
Daddy doesn't like

Now he's sittin' out back
Dirty thirty in his lap
In the blue bug zapper light

We were Jesus saved me
Blue jean baby
Born in the USA

Trailer park truck stop
Big wheel mouth
That's New York to LA
We were teenage dreamin'
Front seat leanin'
Baby come give me a kiss

Put me on the cover of a Rolling Stone
Uptown down home American kids

Growin' up in little pink houses
Makin' out on the livin' room couches
Blowin' that smoke on Saturday night
A little messed up but we're all alright

We were Jesus saved me
Blue jean baby
Born in the USA

Trailer park truck stop
Big wheel mouth
That's New York to LA
We were teenage dreamin'
Front seat leanin'
Baby come give me a kiss

Put me on the cover of a Rolling Stone
Uptown down home American kids

Growin' up in little pink houses
Makin' out on the livin' room couches
Blowin' that smoke on Saturday night
A little messed up but we're all alright
