American Boy

I've been running up town
I've been burning down highways
I was calling your name
With a locket of your hair in my pocket
I love you dear
Do you want me here even when I'm falling

Cause I was just 18
When the world came crashing down
Hot metal and steel
I fought and bled on the desert ground lord
I love you dear
Do you want me here even when I'm falling

Cause I'm your American boy
Loving an American girl
In a torn up place like this
And I'd kiss your lips in times like these
No I ain't perfect
But I'll love you till the end
Keep that porch light on baby guide me home
Cause I'm a wreckage babe
But your lightning storm, Oh baby

Been looking for freedom
Searching for a peace of mind
Ain't nothing come easy
In a world that ain't got the time
I love you dear
Do you want me here even when I'm falling
Cause I'm your American boy
Whose loving an American girl
In a torn up place
Like this
I'd miss your lips in times like these
No I ain't perfect
But I'll love you till the end
Keep those porch lights on
Baby guide me home
Cause I'm a wreckage babe
But your a lightning storm

I won't let them tell me
That we died for nothing dear
I see my brothers walking in my dreams at night
Lord they don't know how it feels
See it hurts to be an American boy
Whose loving an American girl
In a torn up place like this
I'd kiss your lips in times like these

No I ain't perfect
But I'll love you till the end
Keep those porch lights on baby guide me home
I'm a wreckage babe but your a lightning storm
Oh baby

Come on love, won't you save me
Come on love, won't you save me
Cause I'm your American boy
Whose loving an American girl
In a torn up place like this
I'd kiss your lips in times like these
No I ain't perfect
But I'll love you till the end
Keep that porch lights on
Baby guide me home
I'm a wreckage babe
But your lightning storm
Oh baby
