American Child LYRICS |

I was 10
I was playin first base
I was thin
Would go very far
With a second hand glove
And dirt on my face
In nowhere Virginia
Who'd ever figure that kid in the yard
That played outta tune
Cuz 419 Lakewood had no silver spoons
Now I'm singin and livin the life that I love
Just an old beat up upright
And when I count my blessings
An American child
I thank God I was...
*Chorus*
An American child
Cuz dreams can grow wild
Born inside an American Child
7 pounds 3 ounces
She's got my nose
As deep as it goes
And she's into my heart
In late August came...
With a promise that's more than just someone's last name
Anyone's equal
*Chorus*
An American child
An American child
Cuz dreams can grow wild
Born inside an American Child
My grandfather would've been 80 today
But in '45
*Chorus*
He fell down beside...
An American child
An American child
Born inside an American Child
Cuz dreams can grow wild
