American Girl

I am a heavy metal mystery, a folk singer tragedy
 I am rock and roll to the bone
 I am someone who isn't me, tied to a singing tree
 I got lost on my way home
 I like to just dance the night away, I'd pay for my sins some other day
 Some sort of godly I-O-U
 I'm going to fly around the world, find my American girl
 She always makes me feel brand new
 If I can't feel her now, I just might run out
 If I can't feel her now, who can show me what life is about?
 What life is about...?
 I am vivid and magical; I'm careless and practical
 I've got music in my soul
 I can be spectacular, I am straight laced and angular
 You'd be surprised to know just what I know
 I like to just sing my cares away, but I can't seem to stay away
 From the joy and the gloom of her
 It's all the same to me, my hair brained philosophy
 Absence makes the heart go under
 If I can't feel her now, I just might run out
 If I can't feel her now, who can show me what life is about?
 What life is about...?
 I like to just dance the night away, I'd pay for my sins some other day
 Some sort of godly I-O-U
 I'm going to fly around the world, find my American girl
 She always makes me feel brand new
 If I can't feel her now, I just might run out
 If I can't feel her now, who can show me what life is about?
 What life is about...?
