The Americans Lyrics - John Mellencamp

I like my heroes 

To be honest and strong 

I wear t-shirts 

And blue jeans 

I try to understand 

All the cultures of this world 

I'm an American from the Midwest 

When I speak 

I have a southern drawl 

I mind my manners most of the time 

When you come down here 

Stop and stay hello 

I'm an American from south of the Mason Dixon line 

I'm an American, I'm an American 

I respect you and your point of view 

I'm an American, I'm an American 

And I wish you good luck with whatever you do

I start my day 

And I'm ready to work 

I'm responsible 

And I like to get things done 

If you ever need some help 

Come and look my way 

'Cause I try to be here for everyone 

I'm an American, I'm an American 

I respect you and your point of view 

I'm an American, I'm an American 

And I wish you good luck with whatever you do 

They call me the land of opportunity 

With our agriculture 

And beautiful movie stars 

We can turn our dreams 

Into a way of life 

So be happy and be who you are
