Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, freedom ain't free and gas ain't cheap
But we burn main streets in trucks and jeeps
With the radio up and the windows down
Trying to live big in a small town
Hey, you're like a pair of Powerline sneakers
We were tongue tied underneath the bleachers
With a hometown honey, a little bit of money
And a hand me down I.D.
[Verse 2]
Singing, Free Bird and Free Fallin'
Senior class and backwoods balling
Minimum wage burning holes in our pockets
Cups half full with a hole in the bottom, singing
Sweet Home and Don't Stop Believin'
No plans so we can't stop dreaming
Short term lovers and lifelong friends
Young Americans
[Verse 3]
Mom and pop, bottom shelf-top proper
We were flying high on a ZigZag Rocker
We all knew it all but we didn't know nothing
Living off loving and laid back buzzing
[Verse 4]
Singing, Free Bird and Free Fallin'
Senior class and backwoods balling
Minimum wage burning holes in our pockets
Cups half full with a hole in the bottom, singing
Sweet Home and Don't Stop Believin'
No plans so we can't stop dreaming
Short term lovers and lifelong friends
Young Americans
[Verse 5]
But I've been living life
Full speed with the hammer down
All we need is right here, right now
[Verse 6]
Singing, Free Bird and Free Fallin'
Senior class and backwoods balling
Minimum wage burning holes in our pockets
Cups half full with a hole in the bottom
[Verse 7]
Singing, Free Bird and Free Fallin'
Senior class and backwoods balling
Minimum wage burning holes in our pockets
Cups half full with a hole in the bottom, singing
Sweet Home and Don't Stop Believin'
No plans so we can't stop dreaming
Short term lovers and lifelong friends
[Verse 8]
Singing, Free Bird and Free Fallin'
Senior class and backwoods balling
Minimum wage burning holes in our pockets
Cups half full with a hole in the bottom, singing
Sweet Home and Don't Stop Believin'
No plans so we can't stop dreaming
Short term lovers and lifelong friends
Young Americans
Yeah, young Americans
