American

In the garden, sunlight-painted skin

Country backroads, never see again

West coast sunset, blue jeans broken in

American

I've been away for way too long

American

I only miss you when I'm gone

Halfway home and still I can't forget

Melodies were ringin' in our head

American

I've been away for way too long

American

I only miss you when I'm gone

And I'm not sayin' I'd never roam

But if I ever leave again I'm coming home

Carry you with me in a song

All your mystery keeps me hangin' on

Carry you with me in a song

All your mystery keeps me hangin' on

American

I've been away for way too long

American

I only miss you when I'm gone

American

I'm not sayin' I'd never roam

American

But if I ever leave again I'd go home

American
