American Kid Lyrics

Well, I was raised on sunshine

And on rock top radio

And I could trust my instinct bout as far as I could throw

It's New York City fire

Dallas, Texas heart and soul

And if nobody told you

I was made for rock and roll

You knock me down and I'll stand

And I'll shut my mouth when I'm dead

Tell me what did you expect?

I wasn't made to relent

I'm an American kid

Well, I've been up and moving

With no place to lay my head

I been picking fights and losing

I been bleeding crimson red

But praise the Lord, this miracle I never will forget

Life ain't always easy, but my time ain't finished yet

You knock me down and I'll stand

And I'll shut my mouth when I'm dead

Tell me what did you expect?

I wasn't made to relent

I'm an American kid

You knock me down and I'll stand

And I'll shut my mouth when I'm dead

Tell me what did you expect?

I wasn't made to relent

I'm an American kid

Hey!
