Text: Big Head Todd And The Monsters. American Boy.

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 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 he 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
Oh, he was an American boy
Oh, he was an American boy
Oh, he was an American boy

Oh, he was an American boy
Oh, he was an American boy
Oh, he was an American boy
Oh, he was an American boy
