American Kids

Double wide
Quick Stop
Midnight T-top
Jack in her Cherry Coke town

Momma and Daddy put their roots right here
'Cause this is where the car broke down

Yellow dog school bus kickin' up red dust
Pickin' us up by a barbed wire fence
MTV on the RCA, no A/C in the vents

We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby
Born in the USA

Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots
New York to LA

We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin'
Baby, come give me a kiss

Put me on the cover of the Rolling Stone
Uptown down home American kids

Growin' up in little pink houses
Makin' out on living room couches
Blowin' that smoke on a Saturday night
A little messed up, but we're all alright

Baptist church parkin' lot, tryin' not to get caught
Take her home and give her your jacket

Makin' it to second base, but sayin' you went all the way
Monday afternoon at practice

Sisters got a boyfriend Daddy doesn't like

Now he's sittin' out back, 3030 in his lap
In the blue bug zapper light

We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby
Born in the USA

Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots
New York to LA

We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin'
Baby, come give me a kiss

Put me on the cover of the Rolling Stone
Uptown down home American kids

Growin' up in little pink houses
Makin' out on living room couches
Blowin' that smoke on a Saturday night
A little messed up, but we're all alright

We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby
Born in the USA

Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots
New York to LA

We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin'
Baby, come give me a kiss

Put me on the cover of the Rolling Stone
Uptown down home American kids

Growin' up in little pink houses
Makin' out on living room couches
Blowin' that smoke on a Saturday night
A little messed up, but we're all alright
