American Spirit Video (MV)

Tongue-tied when they ask about me
Bloodshot eyes, all messed up
White lies and a talking town
We keep it quiet the way it was
Who's your judge? Who's the jury?
How you living when you're in the dark?
Does the smoke make it blurry?
And when you're lying there in my arms

Does it light you up like an American spirit?
Wrap around you like a drunk tattoo
On your lips like a rock and roll lyric
Say you quit but you never do
You're a bad habit, cigarette season
When you're bumming the ones around
Be your buzz, your best kept secret
Light me up, can't put me down

I'm sure you only want it when you're drinking
Problem is you're drinking every night
I don't know what the hell I'm thinking
Guess the matter's got to be your vice
Or the guilt but no glory
When you're sneaking out in the morning light
Like it's the end of the story
And we both know it ain't the last time

I light you up like an American spirit
Wrap around you like a drunk tattoo
On your lips like a rock and roll lyric
Say you quit but you never do
You're a bad habit, cigarette season
When you're bumming the ones around
Be your buzz, your best kept secret
Light me up, can't put me down

'Cause I light you up like an American spirit
Wrap around you like a drunk tattoo
On your lips like a rock and roll lyric
Say you quit but you never do
You're a bad habit, cigarette season
When you're bumming the ones around
Be your buzz, your best kept secret
Light me up, can't put me down

Can't put me down, put me down
Can't put me down, can't put me down
Can't put me down
