(eric carmen/dean pitchford)



On this night

On any hotsummer night

Every girl

Every red-blooded boy

Is cryin' out

With one great voice

They wanna jump

They wanna turn up the noise



And that's the sound

That's the thunderin' sound

Of clappin' hands

And of stompin' their feet

Coast to coast

Like a national heart

Watch them go

Go wild in the street



Every kid in the u.s.a.

Is comin' out to play

It's american as apple pie

Livin' hardriding high

Feelin' every minute like the 4th of july

Go for broke

Do or die

American as apple pie



I gotta girl

I got one fine girl

She's got hair

Like kansas wheat

She can move

Like a new york street

And she can kiss

She can kiss so sweet



On this night

On this glorious night

We got plans

We got redhot schemes

Of bustin' out

Before we break at the seams

We'll cut a piece

Of the american dream



Every kid in the u.s.a.

Is comin' out to play

It's american as apple pie

Livin' hardriding high

Feelin' every minute like the 4th of july

Go for broke

Do or die

American as apple pie



It's american as apple pie

Livin' hardriding high

Feelin' every minute like the 4th of july

Go for broke

Do or die

American

It's american

It's american as apple pie



American as apple pie

Livin' hardriding high

Livin' every minute like the 4th of july
