The American Way lyrics

I grew up under normal conditions
Mom was the radio, Dad was the television
They both were doing the best that they could
Working 50 hour weeks and knocking on wood
I did my time in the public school system
I got good grades, never got a shred of wisdom
Can t blame my teachers for anything they did
You can t teach one on one with 33 kids

Ooh Ooh I m doing all right
I work every day to get to Saturday night
Ooh Ooh I guess I m doing O.K.
Living and dying the American way

I found the one, we put some roots down
Got a 2nd mortgage on the outskirts of town
Now we barbecue every 4th of July
Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky

Ooh Ooh I m doing all right
I work every day to get to Saturday night
Ooh Ooh I guess I m doing O.K.
Living and loving the American way

These days we re thinking bout kids of our own
Gonna turn this house into a home
In no time at all they ll be singing along

Ooh Ooh I m doing all right
I work every day to get to Saturday night
Ooh Ooh I guess I m doing O.K.
Living and dying the American way
