A.L.O. Lyrics

Only a few yrs ago

I packed my bags and said hello

To a new place with new faces

Total strangers it was amazing

How fast things can change and

How i wasted my time complaining

Worries of the past now fading

Now fading

Cause I'm an American

Living overseas

Why did I leave my country?

First of all, my momma got remarried

She said "the USA wasn't for me"

You can't see the issues from the inside

When you live a quiet middle class life

Moving away opened my eyes wide

Now i don't see the same sun shine

On the other side of this earth

I found out what I'm worth

I've met people I love

And I feel like I'm enough

American living overseas

Why did I leave my country?

Well, here you can study for free

Shoutout to Denmark (Denmark!)

To be honest, I got more freedom

I've been working and I've been eating

Let me know if you need more reasons

I've found everything that I've needed.

I know I'm privileged but I want more

So I'm using it to explore

How I can make a difference

I don't have time for your opinion

I'm just an american living overseas

Why did I leave my country?

Here my taxes go to healing the sick

Instead of killing the innocent

Speaking of killing

Guns are controlled

So there are less children

Scared to go to school

In the morning

In the morning

I'm just an american living overseas

Why did I leave my country?

I think it's clear

Why I'm over here

Over here

Over here

Thank God I'm over here.

Thank God

Thank God

Thank God

Who would have thought?

Who would have thought

An American Living Overseas

Could be so happy?

What is the American Dream anymore?

Anymore?
