《American Child》歌词

[00:00:00] American Child (美国孩子) - Ameritz Tribute Standards (阿莫瑞兹致敬标准)

[00:00:17] I was ten I was thin

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

[00:00:22] With a secondhand glove

[00:00:24] And dirt on my face

[00:00:26] In nowhere Virginia

[00:00:29] Who'd ever figure that kid in the yard

[00:00:33] Would go very far

[00:00:35] It was 419 Lakewood

[00:00:37] Had no silverspoons

[00:00:39] Just an old beat up upright

[00:00:42] That played out of tune

[00:00:43] Now I'm singin' and living the life

[00:00:46] That I love

[00:00:47] And when I count my blessings

[00:00:50] I thank God I was

[00:00:52] An American child

[00:00:56] An American child

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

[00:01:02] Born inside an American child

[00:01:14] Seven pounds three ounces

[00:01:16] She's got my nose

[00:01:17] And she's into my heart

[00:01:20] As deep as it goes

[00:01:22] With a promise

[00:01:23] That's more than

[00:01:24] Just someone's last name

[00:01:26] Anyone's equal

[00:01:29] In late August came

[00:01:30] An American child

[00:01:34] An American child

[00:01:39] 'Cause dreams can grow wild

[00:01:41] Born inside an American child

[00:02:00] My grandfather would

[00:02:02] Have been eighty today

[00:02:06] But in '45 he fell

[00:02:09] Down beside an American child

[00:02:14] An American child

[00:02:18] Oh an American child

[00:02:23] 'Cause dreams can grow wild

[00:02:25] Born inside an American child

[00:02:32] An American child
