[Verse 1]
Blue Ribbon bottles, big block throttles
Marlboros if you want 'em, go on and take a drag
A little taste of freedom, little small town dreaming
No need to preach, no need to shout, we believe in
[Chorus]
American nights, one headlight
Cutting down Main Street in the dark
Muscle Shoals and muscle cars
Earning our stripes underneath these stars
[Verse 2]
Faded Levi's, worn out Chucks
Twenty in my pocket feels like a million bucks
Blue-eyed beauty, lean in to me
Our own show in the back row
Miss the whole damn movie
[Chorus]
American nights, one headlight
Cutting down Main Street in the dark
Muscle Shoals and muscle cars
Earning our stripes underneath these stars
American nights
American nights
[Bridge]
Pray the morning don't come
These colors don't run
Stay up and stay young
American nights
[Chorus]
American nights, one headlight
Cutting down Main Street in the dark
Muscle Shoals and muscle cars
Earning our stripes underneath these stars
American nights
American nights
American nights
