American Way Lyrics - Singles - Little River Band

I've seen God's children in trailer parks 

Seen caddies cruisin' for movie stars 

A ruby saddle in a neon sky 

And a southern town even time passed by 

I watched the sun fall down in the canyons 

I nearly met my maker in LA 

I thought I'd seen it all 

Until she showed me the American way 

Oh, the American way 

Well, I woke up to a brand new day 

The American way 

Flyin' J shone a light on me 

Like my one true friend I was happy to be 

On a diamond highway rollin' on 

As we drove through the night the radio sang along 

I had a crisis out on the back road 

I spent eternity on the freeway 

And I was truly lost 

Until she showed me the American way 

Oh, the American way 

Well, she forced me on my knees to pray 

The American way 

Shine on me, home of the brave 

Shine on us all, land of the free 

Won't you shine on? 

I've seen an angel drink from the bottle 

I heard everything she had to say 

But I know, I knew nothing 

Until she showed me the American way 

Oh, the American way 

Well, I woke up to a brand new day 

And she forced me on my knees to pray 

And I swear I heard Superman 

Tellin' me it's okay, it's the American way 

Oh, the American way 

The American way 

Here she comes, here she comes 

Here she comes, here she comes
