The American Way Lyrics - Waiting On The Wonderful - Aaron Lines

(Aaron Lines/Mark Irwin/Josh Kear) 

I grew up under normal conditions 

Mom was the radio, Dad was the television 

They both were doing the best that they could 

Working 50 hour weeks and knocking on wood 

I did my time in the public school system 

I got good grades, never got a shred of wisdom 

Can't blame my teachers for anything they did 

You can't teach one on one with 33 kids 

Ooh Ooh I'm doing all right 

I work every day to get to Saturday night 

Ooh Ooh I guess I'm doing O.K. 

Living and dying the American way 

I found the one, we put some roots down 

Got a 2nd mortgage on the outskirts of town 

Now we barbecue every 4th of July 

Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky 

Ooh Ooh I'm doing all right 

I work every day to get to Saturday night 

Ooh Ooh I guess I'm doing O.K. 

Living and loving the American way 

These days we're thinking 'bout kids of our own 

Gonna turn this house into a home 

In no time at all they'll be singing along 

Ooh Ooh I'm doing all right 

I work every day to get to Saturday night 

Ooh Ooh I guess I'm doing O.K.
