Francis Dunnery: American Life In The Summertime Song Lyrics

American Life In The Summertime


"You know I just had to get outta Los Angeles man"
Ooooooooooh dadadada da da
Ooooooooooh dadadada da
Ooooooooooh dadadada da da
Ooooooooooh dadadada da
Johnny left home, to seek his fame
Small town boy, the streets of LA
A day-time waiter, in a night-time band
Acting cool, said he was a real man
Couldn't write a song, to save his soul
Ripped off an old tune, said it was his own
Lo and behold, in another few days
Five-Star-Dinner, that the company pays
Johnny got a motor, Johnny got a guitar
Johnny got a room, and a woman to pay
Johnny got a big part, playing in a video
Johnny on the freeway
Yeah, let's go drink till the beer runs dry!
American life in the summertime
I said, let's go drink till the beer runs dry!
American life in the summertime
You know the girl you want is such a waste of time!
American life in the summertime (Yeah)
American life in the summertime
American life in the summertime, got me
Ooooooooooh dadadada da da
Ooooooooooh dadadada da
Suzie got a rise, at work today
She found the new sound, "Johnny On The Freeway"
Virginity blown, the minimum age
Busy doing nothing, on another mans wages
Blonde hair, and mystic eyes
A bottle of pills, and a little on the wild side
Saturday come, and Saturday go
Hangin' out backstage, waiting for the show
Suzie got a motor, Suzie got a guitar
Suzie got a room, that the company pays
A company girl, and company slave
Suzie on the Freeway
Awww, let's go drink till the beer runs dry!
American life in the summertime
I said, let's go drink till the beer runs dry!
American life in the summertime
You know the girl you want is such a waste of time!
American life in the summertime (Yeah)
American life in the summertime
American life in the summertime, got me
It breaks my heart, to see a nation cloned, by someone else's poetry
They got their backs snapped, by 12 inch pressure, of financial bigotry
You know I've still got pride, in who I wanna be
I don't wanna be like them, I just wanna be me
A record company clone?
Not me!
I'm still singin'
Ooooooooooh dadadada da da
(Sing everything you got!)
Ooooooooooh dadadada da
(American life in the summertime)
Ooooooooooh dadadada da da
Ooooooooooh dadadada da
American life in the summertime
American life in the summertime
American life in the summertime aint for me!
Wow!
Let's go drink till the beer runs dry!
American life in the summertime
I said, let's go drink till the beer runs dry!
American life in the summertime
You know the girl you want is such a waste of time!
American life in the summertime
I said, the girl you want is such a waste of time!
American life in the summertime
I said, let's go drink till the beer runs dry!
American life in the summertime, got me
Let's go drink till the beer runs dry!
American life in the summertime
