American Nights

We sing everyday, everyday
How do I know you
Climbing these nights to break the southern states into two
I’ve spent all of my life
Walking the line
The rising dust rings true
Breaking my back just for minimum wage
Raising two

You could tell me a million lies
Ordinary to the naked eye
Muscle the flag up then you’re paralyzed
But I’ve got everything that I need

Northern lights meet southern rains
Eastern shores greet western plains
You’re looking for the right place to explore
But you can’t rewrite
An American Night

We sing everyday, everyday
How do I know you
Climbing these nights on the southern range just for you
I’ve been free all of my life till I was waiting in line
The southern reigns ring true
These nights break the southern states into two
Just for you

Treason’s grip to wrench the murderous blade
In the face of foreign foes they fade
The valley’s harvest is falling into line
And you always seem to get what you need

Northern lights meet southern rains
Eastern shores greet western plains
You’re looking for the right place to explore
But you can’t rewrite
An American Night

Believe it or not, I love it
Living these American Nights
Believe it or not, I love it
Walking on American Nights

Northern lights meet southern rains
Eastern shores greet western plains
You’re looking for the right place to explore
But you can’t rewrite
An American Night
What is right and what is wrong
The flames go out but we still belong
I’m gonna take that last southbound train from New York
But I can’t rewrite these American Nights

Believe it or not, I love it
Living these American Nights
Believe it or not, I love it
Walking on American Nights
