《American Child》歌词

[00:00:00] American Child (美国孩子) - Kid Drew and the Kids

[00:00:17] I was ten

[00:00:18] I was thin

[00:00:19] I was playing first base

[00:00:21] With a secondhand glove and dirt on my face

[00:00:25] In nowhere Virginia

[00:00:28] Who'd ever figure that kid in the yard

[00:00:32] Would go very far

[00:00:34] It was 419 Lakewood had no silverspoons

[00:00:38] Just an old beat up upright that played out of tune

[00:00:42] Now I'm singin' and living the life that I love

[00:00:46] And when I count my blessings I thank God I was

[00:00:50] An American child

[00:00:55] An American child

[00:00:59] 'Cause dreams can grow wild

[00:01:01] Born inside an American child

[00:01:12] Seven pounds three ounces she's got my nose

[00:01:16] And she's into my heart as deep as it goes

[00:01:20] With a promise that's more than

[00:01:22] Just someone's last name

[00:01:24] Anyone's equal in late August came

[00:01:28] An American child

[00:01:32] An American child

[00:01:37] 'Cause dreams can grow wild

[00:01:39] Born inside an American child

[00:01:58] My grandfather would have been eighty today

[00:02:03] But in '45 he fell down beside an American child

[00:02:11] An American child

[00:02:14] Oh an American child

[00:02:20] 'Cause dreams can grow wild born inside

[00:02:23] An American child

[00:02:28] An American child

[00:02:32] An American child

[00:02:37] An American child
