Lyrics
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Rockin' with the top down, ooh-oh-oh
Barrelin' down highway 9
Pickin' up the same crowd (Ooh-oh-oh)
By the Pepsi sign
Baby, gun your gas
Paint your lipstick on till it shines like glass
Midnight riders, lovers, rock and roll
Oh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Got it in the blood
The kid's American
Underneath the hood
You know the kid's American
'Cause he looks so good
The kid's American
Cruisin' faster than he should
The kid's American
Out behind the high school, ooh-oh-oh
Smokin' that cigarette
Deep into the blue jean (Ooh-oh-oh)
And gonna get deeper yet
On the night cool glass
Somethin's in the wind and it's comin' fast
Hold on, baby, try to take it slow
Oh no (Yeah, yeah)
Got it in the blood
The kid's American
Underneath the hood
You know the kid's American
'Cause he looks so good
The kid's American
Cruisin' faster than he should
The kid's American
Look out now!
(Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo)
(Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Drag it out all night
Till there's nothing left by morning light
Drive it till your chassis bottoms out
Oh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Got it in the blood
The kid's American
Underneath the hood
You know the kid's American
'Cause he looks so good
The kid's American
Cruisin' faster than he should
The kid's American
Got it in the blood
The kid's American
Underneath the hood
You know the kid's American
'Cause he looks so good
The kid's American
Cruisin' faster than he should
The kid's American
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
