Karaoke Track: American Child by Phil Vassar (Monster Hits) - Karaoke Nerds

I was ten
I was thin
I was pIayin' first base

With a second hand glove

And dirt on my face

In nowhere Virginia
Who'd ever figure

That kid in the yard
Would go very far

Just on 0

Beat- up upright
That played ouifo tune

Now I'm singin' 0nd
Livin' the life

That I love and
When I count
My blessin's

I thank God

I was an American child
An American child

'Cause dreams
Can grow wild

Born inside

An Ame ricon child

Seven pounds

Three ounces
She's got my nose

With a pro mise

Thafs more than
Just someone's last name

Anyone's equal
In late August

Come on American child

An Ame ricon child

'Cause dreams
Can grow wild

Born inside

An Ame ricon child

(Instrumental Break)

My 9 r0 ndfo ther
Would've been

Eighty today

But in '45
He fell down beside

An American child
An American child

Oh ooh woh

An Ame ricon child

'Cause dreams can
Grow wild

Born inside

An Ame ricon child

Oh an American child
Woh ooh woh oh ooh

Woh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
