Americana Lyrics by Chad Post

2019

I always wanted to be
What I had seen on the TV
Rule like the King and the Queen
But that just wasn’t me
They said looks aren’t what they seem
And your chances are rough
And as they dismissed me
Said ‘the industry is tough’

Gimme that Americana, Americana
So I cut myself from the inside out
Don’t cry for me, just watch me bleed

Americana tonight
Oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh
Be my Americana tonight
Oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh
Be my Americana tonight
Oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh
Caught in that teenage dream since I was seventeen
Be my Americana tonight

Playing songs to the beat
Red wine in summer heat
They were just having fun
Havin’ fun without me
Token as they played me
A real charity
And raised me like the Sun
Called me a rarity

Gimme that Americana, Americana
But forget what I felt ‘cause I left that town
Don’t cry for me, just be my beauty queen

Be my Americana tonight
Oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh
Be my Americana tonight
Oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh
Be my Americana tonight
Oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh
You’ve got nothing to lose
Be my red, white, and blue
Be my Americana tonight

Was never cool enough, way too commercial and stuff
So we play the part, ‘cause it’s never enough
All our sequin dresses and champagne kisses
With mannequin faces and internet disses
The King and his heir and his heir and a spare
Bow down to them all ‘cause the Queen doesn’t care
Dressing down to the nines, timeless we got no time
With girls dressed in pearls and Slumdog Millionaires
All for the sake of that Americana, Americana
So I cut myself from the inside out
Don’t cry for me, just watch me bleed

Americana tonight
Oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh
Be my Americana tonight
Oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh
Be my Americana tonight
Oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh, oh oh oo oh oh
Caught in that teenage dream since I was seventeen
Be my Americana tonight
