《American Child》歌词

[00:00:05] Phil Vassar

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

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

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

[00:00:26] 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

[00:00:40] That played out of tune

[00:00:43] 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

[00:00:51] An American child

[00:00:55] An American child

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

[00:01:02] 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

[00:01:21] With a promise

[00:01:22] That's more than just someone's last name

[00:01:25] Anyone's equal in late August came

[00:01:29] An American child

[00:01:33] An American child

[00:01:38] 'Cause dreams can grow wild

[00:01:40] Born inside an American child

[00:01:59] My grandfather would have been eighty today

[00:02:05] But in '45 he fell down beside an American child

[00:02:13] An American child

[00:02:16] Oh an American child

[00:02:22] 'Cause dreams can grow wild

[00:02:24] Born inside an American child

[00:02:29] An American child
