American Boy Lyrics by The Cowboys

Sultan of Squat

2023

There's a time and a place, star child
We need you to read the room
Put down that silver spoon
Blow your horn, with gentle wind
I'm getting back to rock and roll after
Two years livin' on the dole
And his words used to mean something to me
He'd go on and on about whatever he damn well pleased
He said "Son, kill yourself cause you ain't go nothing on (?)"
Holding court but not his tongue
American boy
And I recall a pleasant memory
A Canadian pop princess sat next to me
He said "Hun, Kill yourself you ain't got nothin on (?)"
Holding court , but not his tongue
His words used to mean so much to mе
He'd go on and on, and say whatever, hе damn well pleased
He said "Son, kill yourself cause you ain't got nothing on (?)"
Holding court, but not his tongue
Holding court, but not his tongue
American boy
