Her daddy said to be home on time

We both planned to stay out all night

When he found out later I never stood a chance

And I said bring it on

Her daddy whipped my ass



I woke up laying on her front lawn

Through swollen eyes I made sure that he was gone

We wasn't doing nothing except having some fun

Well, a kiss or two never hurt anyone



American kids drive American cars

Making their way to American bars

American boys seek out American dreams

Like American girls in their tight blue jeans



Now there's a girl behind the counter at the gas station, boys

That makes my heart stop and start and jump for joy

She gave me her number and I gave her a call

And on Saturday night we're gonna have a ball



It got to be the weekend and she wasn't around

Me and the roses that I bought for her were feeling down

So I walked down to the corner store

This guy says “hey kid, she don't work here anymore”



American kids drive American cars

Making their way to American bars

American boys seek out American dreams

Like American girls in their tight blue jeans



American love

American love

I need that kind of love



American love

American love

I need that kind of love



This summer met a girl I think she might be the one

My momma keeps saying it's the summer sun, sun



American kids drive American cars

Making their way to American bars

American boys seek out American dreams

Like American girls in their tight blue jeans
