The American In Me Lyrics - Steve Forbert

I need me a destination 

I ain't the kinda cat's gon' 

Just jump in his car and drive 

I'm usin' my transportation 

So then when am I going to arrive? 

And I guess it's just 

The American in me 

And I guess it's just 

Said the way I'm at to be 

And I guess it's just 

They're stoppin' me out on the freeway 

They ask of me what I do 

And where the hell I'm bound 

I used to get a lot more leeway 

Hey well now I get a lot more down 

And I guess it's just 

The American in me 

And I guess it's just 

Said the way I'm at to be 

And I guess it's just 

The off ramp backed up miles today 

And the carbon fumes 

Were drifting towards the sky 

The sky began to cry 

And the thunder booms 

And I'm back once again on the car lot 

And I ain't even paid for that thing I drove up in yet 

Well I might make a trade and I might not 

But I know I'll remain in debt 

And I guess it's just 

The American in me 

And I guess it's just 

Say the way I'm at to be 

And I guess it's just, yeah 

And I guess it's just 

The American in me 

And I guess it's just 

Yeah the way I'm at to be 

And I guess it's just, yeah
