American Boy Lyrics by Eddie Rabbitt

Beatin’ the Odds

0

I wanna live in a place where they name their kids Billy
Turn on the radio, and hear my man Willie
Friday night football, stand up and cheer
Go where I wanna go, I'm a free man here!

I'm an American boy
Drive me a Chevy, ain't got no Peugot
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 watches Saturday morning cartoons
I mow the front lawn, in the afternoon
Fixin' up my car, workin for a livin
Drive down to the seashore, lookin at the pretty women

I'm an American boy
Drive me a Chevy, ain't got no Peugot
My older brother was a GI Joe
Red White and Blue from my head to my toes

I'm an American boy
(voice mix including Martin Luther King Jr.)
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 Peugot
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 pie baby)
I'm an American boy. Yeah
I'm an American boy
Eye eye I'm an American boy
I'm an American boy
