American Kids

[Verse 1] Doublewide Quick Stop midnight T-top Jack in her Cherry Coke town Momma and Daddy put their roots right here ‘Cause this is where the car broke down Yellow dog school bus kickin’ up red dust Pickin’ us up by a barbed wire fence MTV on the RCA, no A/C in the vents [Chorus] We were Jesus saved me, blue jean baby Born in the USA Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots New York to LA We were teenage dreamin’, front seat leanin’ Baby, come give me a kiss Put me on the cover of the Rolling Stone Uptown down home American kids Growin’ up in little pink houses Makin’ out on living room couches Blowin’ that smoke on a Saturday night A little messed up, but we’re all alright [Verse 2] Baptist church parkin’ lot, tryin’ not to get caught Take her home and give her your jacket Makin’ it to second base, but sayin’ you went all the way Monday afternoon at practice Sister's got a boyfriend Daddy doesn’t like Now he’s sittin’ out back, 30/30 in his lap In the blue bug zapper light [Chorus 2x]
