American Lyrics by RuPaul

Essential, Vol. 3

2017

[Intro]
I am American, American
I-I-I am American, American

[Verse 1]
My, my, my, my country 'tis of thee
These are all my friends, we are a family (Family)
Hey, hey, hey, despite what you think
This is who I am and who I wanna be (Who I wanna be)

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody came here wantin' to be free (Ah-ah)
New York to California, sea to shining sea
Everybody came here wantin' to be free (Ah-ah)
New York to California, sea to shining sea
Everybody, everybody, everybody, oh, oh

[Chorus]
I am American, American, American
I am American, American, red, white, and blue
Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American
I am American, American, just like you too

[Verse 2]
You-ou-ou, you got the right
Stand up for yourself, we've just begun to fight (Begun to fight)
Ain't no way we're going back in time
Forward to the future baby, yours and mine (Yeah, yours and mine)

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody came here wantin' to be free (Ah-ah)
New York to California, sea to shining sea
Everybody came here wantin' to be free (Ah-ah)
New York to California, sea to shining sea
Everybody, everybody, everybody, oh, oh

[Chorus]
I am American, American, American
I am American, American, red, white, and blue
Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American
I am American, American, just like you too

[Bridge]
I am American, American
I-I-I am American, American
I am American, American
I-I-I am American, American, I

[Chorus]
I am American, American, American
I am American, American, red, white, and blue
I am American, American, American (I am, I am an American)
I am American, American, just like you too

[Chorus]
Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American (An American)
I am American, American, red, white, and blue
I am American, American, American (I am, I am)
I am American, American, just like you too
