Young Americans

Where freedom ain't free and gas ain't cheap

But we burn main streets in trucks and jeeps

With the radio up and the windows down

Trying to live big in a small town

Hanging like a pair of power-line sneakers

We were tongue-tied underneath the bleaches

With a hometown honey, a little bit of money

And a hand me down ID

Singing "Free Bird" and "Free Fallin'"

Senior class and backwoods bowling

Minimum wage burning holes in our pockets

Cups half full with a hole in the bottom

Singing "Sweet Home" and "Don't Stop Believin'"

No plans that we can't start dreaming

Short term lovers and life long friends

Young Americans

Mom and pop, bought 'em shelf top problem

We were flying high on a zig-zag rocket

We all knew it all but we didn't know nothing

Living off loving and laid back buzzing

Singing "Free Bird" and "Free Fallin'"

Senior class and backwoods bowling

Minimum wage burning holes in our pockets

Cups half full with a hole in the bottom

Singing "Sweet Home" and "Don't Stop Believin'"

No plans that we can't start dreaming

Short term lovers and life long friends

Young Americans

[?] life

Full speed with the hammer down

All we need is right here, right now

Singing "Free Bird" and "Free Fallin'"

Cups half full with a hole in their bottom
