American Boy

Eleni Mandell

The blue light drives where I come from 
The blue light flickers here 
And I love an American boy 
That's clear 

Stone cold stairway 
Stone cold highway 
Light behind the door 
And I love an American boy 
That's for sure 
That's for sure 

Streets are older 
Time is wiser 
Everybody knows 
Hands will come together, gloveless 
When I get home 
Hands will hold 

The river runs the bridge's lights 
The road rides like a drum 
And I love an American boy 
Just because 

Oh shallow pockets 
Darkened eyes 
And heavy hearts and coats 
Hands will come together, gloveless 
When I get hom 
Hands will hold 

The blue light drives where I come from 
My heart burns like the sun 
And I love an American boy 
I love an American boy 
I love an American boy 
Just one
