[Intro] (Hey) [Verse 1] He was eighteen and wasted Bedroom in the basement Parents' house, Tuscon, Arizona What do you expect from a high school diploma? Workin' hours in the shoe store Sellin' dimes out the back door And he puts on his prom crown Says to his mama, "I'm the king of this town" [Pre-Chorus] Won't you take me out? I hear the midnight streets a-callin' You can hold me down But like a bird, I'm just free-fallin' [Chorus] Here's to these American nights We're havin' the time of our lives Livin', dreamin', feelin', never sleepin' 'til we see the mornin' light On these American nights (Hey) [Verse 2] (Hey) Neighborhood kid just back from the desert Tattoo and a discharge letter VA, in the St. John Six times a week, he still sleeps with his boots on She skipped track up to Brooklyn With a dream and some tanned skin Graveyard at the rhino This is the place where the stars shine, ya know? (Hey) [Pre-Chorus] Won't you take me out? I hear the midnight streets a-callin' You can hold me down But like a bird, I'm just free-fallin' (Hey) [Chorus] Here's to these American nights We're havin' the time of our lives Livin', dreamin', feelin', never sleepin' 'til we see the mornin' light On these American nights (Hey) [Post-Chorus] (Hey) These American nights These American nights (Hey) [Bridge] The sky's black in November And nothin' good lasts forever Twelve gauge heart in a machine gun town Whole life runnin', ya can't stop now [Chorus] Here's to these American nights We're havin' the time of our lives Livin' on a feelin', got a feelin' that it's gonna be alright On these American nights (Hey) [Post-Chorus] These American nights These American nights (Hey, hey) These American nights These American nights (On these American nights)
