American Kid

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!
