The Kid’s American Songtext
von Matthew Wilder

Rockin′ with the top down
Barrelin' down highway 9
Pickin′ up the same crowd
By the Pepsi sign

Baby gun your gas
Paint your lipstick on til it shines like glass
Midnight riders, lovers, rock and roll
Oh, Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Got it in the blood
The kid's American
Underneath the hood
You know the kid's American
Cause he looks so good
The kid′s American
Cruisin faster than he should
The kid′s American


Out behind the high school
Smokin' that cigarette
Deep into the blue jean
And gonna get deeper yet

On the night cool grass
Somethin′s in the wind and it's comin fast
Hold on baby, try to take it slow
Oh no! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Got it in the blood
The kid′s American
Underneath the hood
You know the kid's American
Cause he looks so good
The kid′s American
Cruisin faster than he should
The kid's American

Look out now!

Drag it out all night
Til' there′s nothing left but morning light
Drive it til′ your chassis bottoms out
Oh yeah! Yeah! Yeah!


Got it in the blood
The kid's American
Underneath the hood
You know the kid′s American
Cause he looks so good
The kid's American
Cruisin faster than he should
The kid′s American

Got it in the blood
The kid's American
Underneath the hood
You know the kid′s American
Cause he looks so good
The kid's American
Cruisin faster than he should
The kid's American
