Letra de American child

I was 10
I was thin
I was playin 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
Cuz 419 Lakewood had no silver spoons
Just an old beat up upright
That played outta tune
Now I´m singin and livin the life that I love
And when I count my blessings
I thank God I was...

*Chorus*
An American child
An American child
Cuz dreams can grow wild
Born inside an American Child

7 pounds 3 ounces
She´s got my nose
And she´s into my heart
As deep as it goes
With a promise that´s more than just someone´s last name
Anyone´s equal
In late August came...

*Chorus*
An American child
An American child
Cuz dreams can grow wild
Born inside an American Child

My grandfather would´ve been 80 today
But in ´45
He fell down beside...

*Chorus*
An American child
An American child
Cuz dreams can grow wild
Born inside an American Child
