lyrics
All-American Boy
Ripped Jeans, only drinks whiskey
Find him by the fire while his girl was getting frisky, ohh
I say we go this road tonight
He smiles, his arm’s around her
But his eyes are holdin me, just a captive to his wonder, ohh
I say we go this road tonight
Now, I know that that's your girl, I mean no disrespect
The way that shirt hugs you chest, Boy, I just won't forget
I'll be sittin here, drinking my whiskey
I won't say goodnight unless I think ya might miss me, ohh
CHORUS
Be my All-American boy tonight
Where everyday's the 4th of July
And it’s alright, alright
And we can keep this up till the morning light
And you can hold me deep in your eyes
And it’s alright, alright
Be my, be my…
My All-American boy
Ripped jeans, tight shirt
He lights a cigarette—you know, I'm glad that she can't stand it, ohh
I drink the moonlight from his eyes
Now hold there, just a moment
I want to take this in, now we don't need no photo of it, no
We should go this road tonight
Now, I know that that's your girl, and I don't give a damn
She's been cussin and cryin…she don't know what she has
So I'll be, sittin here, tryin hold down my whiskey,
You tell your girl “Good night,” cause somebody'd like to kiss me, ohh
Of all the girls and boys to look my way
Ain't nobody ever hit me this way
So won't you come back with me
and lay with me a while
I'm gonna wrestle you out of them clothes
Leave that beautiful body exposed
And you can have my heart and my soul and my body...
Just be mine!
Be my All-American boy tonight
Baby, you light my fire
It’s gonna be alright, alright!
