Big Head Todd & The Monsters - American Boy lyrics

Song information

Artist: Big Head Todd & The Monsters
Album: Another Mayberry

Lyrics

He's an american boy with his hair combed back
He's gonna buy himself a nice new car
He's gonna marry one of them pretty cookin' wives
And die alone in a big old house
Oh, he was an american boy

He's gonna get a job that pays real well
Go on vacation every year
Have a fine young boy for the n.f.l
All without having to shed a tear
Oh, he was an american boy

Yeah, the american boy is older now
He's been shortened by the weight on his back
He finally takes a look around to see
There were a lot of other things that he could have been
Oh, he was an american boy
