American Nights

On these American nights
 That's when we all go out
 That's when we feel alive
 That's when the tops go down
 I break a dollar at the bar
 And make the jukebox sing
 So tell Rosie what you want
 The first round's on me
 We're gonna light up these streets baby
 Shake the dust off all your dreams baby
 We're gonna lose a little sleep baby
 On these American nights!
 Under the stars and stripes
 We live and die with our friends
 There's nothing we can't do
 As soon as that sun sets
 I'm gonna find me a girl
 I'm gonna try to make her laugh
 And when she gives me that look
 I'm gonna take her hand
 'Cause everything about her reminds me
 Of all the broken romance behind me
 I'm giving love another chance to find me
 On these American nights!
 Daylight please don't come up any higher
 Cause we've got main street lit up like a fire
 And nothing compares to breathing the air
 When I'm back in my hometown
 Someday my kids will run like I did
 On these streets and old playgrounds!
 I wanna drive all night
 Turn up the radio loud
 Left hand in the breeze
 I shut the whole world out
 So come and ride with me baby
 I'm saving you the front seat baby
 Feeling nothing but free baby
 On these American nights!
 ooooohhhhh ooooohhhhh
 ooooohhhhh ooooohhhhh
 On these American nights!
