| Me and my sister used to run our mouths
|
| About growin' up and getting out
|
| We’re both still livin' in the same damn house
|
| And there ain’t nobody goin' nowhere
|
| My old man Frankie just turned 58
|
| Talks retirement, tells mama someday
|
| But they can’t make it on that 401k
|
| So there ain’t nobody goin' nowhere
|
| But we’re a family, American Style
|
| From the hard hats in the steel mills to the farmers on the plow
|
| We’re all in this together, every mother, man and child
|
| We’re a family, American Style
|
| I got an uncle down in Tennessee
|
| Had him a good job buildin' GMC’s
|
| He got the news, their plant’s headed overseas
|
| And there ain’t nobody goin' nowhere
|
| And my main man Mike he’s living on my couch
|
| I bring my girlfriend in my momma’s house
|
| And the bank’s trying to kick everybody out
|
| But there ain’t nobody goin' nowhere
|
| Cause we’re a family, American Style
|
| From the hard hats in the steel mills to the farmers on the plow
|
| We’re all in this together, every mother, man and child
|
| We’re a family, American Style
|
| And oh, the red, white and blue
|
| Hey, it was built on folks like me and you
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| To all the good folks workin' overtime
|
| And all you soldiers on the battle lines
|
| Just know I got your back, hell I know you got mine
|
| Get up, get up
|
| We’re a family, American Style
|
| If you feel the way I do
|
| Stand up and say it loud, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| We’re a family, American Style
|
| From the hard hats in the steel mills to the farmers on the plow
|
| We’re all in this together, every mother, man and child
|
| We’re a family, we’re a family American Style
|
| We’re a family, we’re a family American Style
|
| We’re a family, we’re a family |
