[First Verse]
Oh, well, I light a cigarette
To choke on the smoke
My cough laughs so loudly
But I'm broke like a joke
The man in the tie
Keeps his dress pants clean
But his wife doesn't know
Of the women he has seen
He says now True love
It rarely shows
But you ain't never been on
American Road
[Second Verse]
Well, I keep on clappin'
But I'm not quite sure what for
I wipe and drag my feet
Only to find dirt on the floor
Susie plays a waitress
Bottom wage at the bar
She claims she's an actress
And that dreams don't get you far
She says,Life, yeah
It's pretty cold
But you can finding meaning on
American Road
[Third Verse]
And I square dance down the street
To the singing of a mime
He's stuck in some French ice box
And frozen for all time
There's some hipsters hating hobos
And beatniks blaming bums
Until the NRA comes waltzing down
Waving all my guns
And Charlton Heston
He says, Hello! Welcome son to
American Road!
[Instrumental]
[Fourth Verse]
And there's a presidential fool
Preaching at the crowd
But the congregation's deaf
Because his ego's much too loud
I walk a fine line
And the gypsies love to dance
I read the Bible
And the abide to Kerouac
They say, The rhetoric, it's getting bold!
But the truth lies on
American Road!
[Fifth Verse]
The smoke begins to rise
As my cigarette subsides
It's the changing of the guard
And the rising of the tide
It's some lazy revolution
That'll probably never be
They claim it's evolution
Or the creation story
Yeah, whatever it is, it fits the mold!
But I'll keep on riding this American Road!
