12-bar intro
Verse 1:
I like my heroes to be honest and strong.
I wear t-shirts and blue jeans.
I try to understand all the cultures of this world.
I'm an American from the Midwest.
When I speak, I have a Southern drawl.
I mind my manners most of the time.
When you come down here, stop and stay hello.
I'm an American from south of the Mason Dixon line.
Chorus:
I'm an American, I'm an American.
I respect you and your point of view.
I'm an American, I'm an American
And I wish you good luck with whatever you do.
8-bar break
Verse 3:
I start my day and I'm ready to work.
I'm responsible and I like to get things done.
If you ever need some help, come and look my way
'Cause I try to be here for everyone.
Chorus 2:
I'm an American, I'm an American.
I respect you and your point of view.
I'm an American, I'm an American
And I wish you good fortune with whatever you do.
12-bar break
Verse 4:
They call me the land of opportunity
With our agriculture and beautiful movie stars.
We can turn our dreams into a way of life,
So be happy and be who you are.
Repeat chorus 1
