Well I wake up
just a few minutes after nine
I throw my jeans on
and the cleanest shirt I can find
And after coffee
I jump in my car and I drive
Got just enough gas
to get there before the car dies
Alright.
I look in my mirrors
to the empty sky in the East
Keep driving westward
to where my baby will be
I kiss the ceiling
when I pass through the yellow light
On just another day
in a simple American life
Alright.
And at the airport
my heartbeat is hardly left
And when she hugs me
I feel her tears on my chest
And on the way home
Her fingers and mine intertwine
On just another day
in a simple American life.
A simple American life.
Just a simple American...
Just a simple American life.
