Karaoke Track: American Child by Phil Vassar (Monster Hits)

I was ten
I was thin
I was pIayin&#39; first base

With a second hand glove

And dirt on my face

In nowhere Virginia
Who&#39;d ever figure

That kid in the yard
Would go very far

Just on 0

Beat- up upright
That played ouifo tune

Now I&#39;m singin&#39; 0nd
Livin&#39; the life

That I love and
When I count
My blessin&#39;s

I thank God

I was an American child
An American child

&#39;Cause dreams
Can grow wild

Born inside

An Ame ricon child

Seven pounds

Three ounces
She&#39;s got my nose

With a pro mise

Thafs more than
Just someone&#39;s last name

Anyone&#39;s equal
In late August

Come on American child

An Ame ricon child

&#39;Cause dreams
Can grow wild

Born inside

An Ame ricon child

(Instrumental Break)

My 9 r0 ndfo ther
Would&#39;ve been

Eighty today

But in &#39;45
He fell down beside

An American child
An American child

Oh ooh woh

An Ame ricon child

&#39;Cause dreams can
Grow wild

Born inside

An Ame ricon child

Oh an American child
Woh ooh woh oh ooh

Woh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
