American Child

In the style of

Phil Vassar

Lyrics

i was ten i was thin
i was playin'
first base
with a
secondhand glove
and dirt on my face

in nowhere virginia
who'd ever figure
that kid in the yard
would go very far

'cause four-nineteen
lakewood
had no silver spoons
just an ol'
beat-up upright
that played
outta tune

now i'm singin'
and livin'
the life that i love
and when i count
my blessin's

i thank god i was
an american child
an american child
'cause dreams
can grow wild
born inside
an american child

seven pounds
three ounces
she's got my nose
and she's
into my heart
as deep as it goes

with a promise
that's more than
just someone's
last name

anyone's equal
in late august came
an american child
an american child
'cause dreams
can grow wild
born inside
an american child

my grandfather
would've been
eighty today

but in '45
he fell down beside
an american child
an american child
oh ooh woh
an american child

'cause dreams
can grow wild
born inside
an american child
oh an american child

woh ooh woh
oh ooh woh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh
