American Boy
ELENI MANDELL
The blue light drives where I come from
The blue light flickers here
And I love an American boy
That's clear
Stone cold stairway, stone cold highway
Light behind the door
And I love an American boy
That's for sure, that's for sure
Streets are older
Time is wiser everybody knows
Hands will come together gloveless
When I get home hands will hold
The river runs the bridge's lights
The road rides like a drum
And I love an American boy
Just because
Oh, shallow pockets
Darkened eyes and heavy hearts and coats
Hands will come together, gloveless
When I get home, hands will hold
The blue light drives where I come from
My heart burns like the sun
And I love an American boy
I love an American boy, I love an American boy
Just one
