If i had a cinder block for every lie i told
we could have build us a house fine as any city block
to keep us out of the cold,
cause the winters long longer in this shitty town,
with the gas can rusting down the street
and the cherry trees and evry boom box playing loud
we sing along we sing till dawn just one more american song
john was a quiet boy in school johnny with the fiery red hair
he went to the army like a lot of them do
and he got fucked up over that
and if you see him now he pushs a shopping car in the parking lot
if you call him he don't hear a thing
the call him john the priest john the king of bottle talk
priest of porn his war's still on it's just one more american song
there's a place i heard about, once...a place called union street
a place on high a place where we could all be one
it sounded pretty good to me
and aint no gasoline gonna take us back that way again
when the years have rusted out our fence
when our jeans were torn and we were all the best of friends
and the music .......(???)
i can hear that band they're near at hand
and I really hope it's not the wind again, Oh no
it don't belong boys cause something's gone, one more american song
don't be long boys, I'm hanging on to for just one more american song
it's been too long boys, somethings gone , one more american song
