The Kid’s American Lyrics By Matthew Wilder

    rocket with the top down whoa
    barrelin’ down highway 9
    pickin’ up the same crowd whoa
    by the pepsi sign

    pre
    baby gun your gas
    paint your lipstick on ’til it shines like glass
    midnight riders lovers rock ‘n’ roll
    oh yeah
    yeah yeah

    got it in the blood the kid’s american
    underneath the hood you know the kid’s american
    ’cause he looks so good the kid’s american
    cruisin’ faster than he should the kid’s american

    out behind the high school whoa
    smokin’ that cigarette
    deep into the blue jean whoa
    and gonna get deeper yet

    pre
    on the night cool grass
    something’s in the wind and it’s comin’ fast
    hold on baby try to take it slow
    oh no
    yeah yeah

    got it in the blood the kid’s american
    underneath the hood you know the kid’s american
    ’cause he looks so good the kid’s american
    cruisin’ faster than he should the kid’s american
    look out now

    drag it out all night
    ’til there’s nothing left by morning light
    drive it ’til your chassis bottoms out
    oh yeah
    yeah yeah

    got it in the blood the kid’s american
    underneath the hood you know the kid’s american
    ’cause he looks so good the kid’s american
    cruisin’ faster than he should the kid’s american

    got it in the blood the kid’s american
    underneath the hood you know the kid’s american
    ’cause he looks so good the kid’s american
    cruisin’ faster than he should the kid’s american
