Steve Forbert - The American In Me Lyrics




I need me a destination

I ain't the kinda cat's gon' just jump in his car an' drive



I'm usin' my transportation

So then when am I going to arrive?



Chorus:

And I guess it's just

The american in me

And I guess it's just

The way I'm apt to be

And I guess it's just



They're stoppin' me out on the freeway

'n they ask of me what I do and where I'm bound

I used to get a lot more leeway

Hey, well, now I get a lot more down



Repeat chorus



The off ramp backed up miles today

And the carbon fumes

Were drifting towards the sky

The sky began to cry

And the thunder booms



An' I'm back once again on the car lot

An' I ain't even paid for that thing I drove up in yet

Well, I might make a trade an' I might not

But I know I'll remain in debt



Repeat chorus



Harmonica solo...



Repeat chorus
