American Living

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let's sober up, it's time to find that galaxy That was created and named after me But these rocket hits blew apart the entire ship So if you find some pieces, just name them after me It's on fire, it's my empire Went up so fast, I couldn't grab it Along with medicine and magic That keeps me breathing right on key Broken straps strap in the captain That's praying just for me [Pre-Chorus] And this is so typical Erased by the author of me [Chorus] So dance to some broken chords With broken knees, through open doors And save me with a microphone Give me something so I can go home (Give me something so I can go home) Don't you have a lesson for me? [Verse 2] I raced concrete to the front row seats Threw her bows and whiskey kisses And left her on the street With her hands out and her hair down She's nothing more than a movie that never panned out Hey, Mr. Destiny You forgot about me You forgot to leave a number You forgot to name the street This is American living with my American dream It thunders like a river but it's cold just like a stream [Pre-Chorus] And this is so typical Erased by the author of me [Chorus] So dance to some broken chords With broken knees, through open doors And save me with a microphone Give me something so I can go home (Give me something so I can go home) Don't you have a lesson for me? [Bridge] I know now, things don't get much better than this And I know now, life don't get much bigger than this [Chorus] So dance to some broken chords With broken knees, through open doors And save me with a microphone Teach me something so I can go (Teach me something so I can go) Don't you have a lesson for me?
