He was just another kid
Singing songs at dusk
With your favorite guitar
While living a lie
He's just an American boy

He looked at the stars in the blue sky
And smile singing "Tonight I could do something different
Invite that beautiful girl out
Or sleep under the stars
But I'm just another American boy "

Some chapters later

Sitting in her red car as he thought and sang
He never saw how beautiful it was his voice
I felt a great fear to continue but
He looked at the stars in the blue sky
And smile singing "Tonight I could do something different
Invite that beautiful girl out
Or sleep under the stars
But I'm just another American boy "

He was the typical, quiet boy
With a wonderful smile on her pretty face
He's just an American boy in search of happiness

"You should believe more in their dreams
Boy, you have potential, yeah "
That's what his friends said, but
He's just an American boy

Playing notes never heard
With the charming his voice over the fence
He is the only American boy ever

He looked at the stars in the blue sky
And smile singing "Tonight I could do something different
Invite that beautiful girl out
Or sleep under the stars
But I'm just another American boy "

His hands in the pockets of blue jeans
The head down
He's just another guy
He's just an American boy in search of happiness
