Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's drivin' a jeep but he ain't in the Army
Gets all his cigarette money from his mommy
Dressed like a rootin', tootin' Texas cowboy
But this lone ranger's never seen a horse
[Verse 2]
He want to be Americano
Americano, Americano
He wants to drive a Cadillac
Ooh, he's chasing showgirls
Smokin' Camels, whiskey and soda
Now he's never goin' back
[Verse 3]
He's cruisin' streets for gold
Dressed in designer clothes
Brother if your too slow
You'd better not blink or you'll wind up in the drink
[Verse 4]
Want to be Americano, Americano, Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause that's his baby's favorite thing
Okay, all right, yeah man
Want to be American, want to be American
[Verse 5]
He's in the land where anything can happen
Reach for the stars grab that golden ring
Just remember he's Americano
We'll watch it pal 'cause he'll take everything
[Verse 6]
He want to be Americano, Americano, Americano
He wants to drive a Cadillac
Ooh, now he's chasing showgirls
Smokin' Camels, whiskey and soda
Now he's never goin' back
[Verse 7]
He likes that rock and roll
He's playing baseball
Loves Marilyn Monroe
A coca-cola Joe and a pizza pie to go
[Verse 8]
Want to be Americano, Americano, Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause that's his baby's favorite thing
Okay, all right, yeah man
Want to be American
Want to be American
Want to be American, hey
