American Boy

I've been running up town

I've been burning down highways

I was calling your name

With a locket of your hair in my pocket

I love you dear

Do you want me here even when I'm falling

Cause I was just 18

When the world came crashing down

Hot metal and steel

I fought and bled on the desert ground lord

I love you dear

Do you want me here even when I'm falling

Cause I'm your American boy

Loving an American girl

In a torn up place like this

And I'd kiss your lips in times like these

No I ain't perfect

But I'll love you till the end

Keep that porch light on baby guide me home

Cause I'm a wreckage babe

But your lightning storm, Oh baby

Been looking for freedom

Searching for a peace of mind

Ain't nothing come easy

In a world that ain't got the time

I love you dear

Do you want me here even when I'm falling

Cause I'm your American boy

Whose loving an American girl

In a torn up place

Like this

I'd miss your lips in times like these

No I ain't perfect

But I'll love you till the end

Keep those porch lights on

Baby guide me home

Cause I'm a wreckage babe

But your a lightning storm

I won't let them tell me

That we died for nothing dear

I see my brothers walking in my dreams at night

Lord they don't know how it feels

See it hurts to be an American boy

Whose loving an American girl

In a torn up place like this

I'd kiss your lips in times like these

No I ain't perfect

But I'll love you till the end

Keep those porch lights on baby guide me home

I'm a wreckage babe but your a lightning storm

Oh baby

Come on love, won't you save me

Come on love, won't you save me

Cause I'm your American boy

Whose loving an American girl

In a torn up place like this

I'd kiss your lips in times like these

No I ain't perfect

But I'll love you till the end

Keep that porch lights on

Baby guide me home

I'm a wreckage babe

But your lightning storm

Oh baby
