On these American nights

That's when we all go out,

That's when we feel alive,

That's when the tops go down

I break a dollar at the bar

And make the jukebox sing

So tell Rosie what you want

The first round's on me

We're gonna light up these streets baby,

Shake the dust off your dreams baby,

We're gonna lose a little sleep baby

On these American nights!

Under the stars and shops

We live in doubt with our friends

There's nothing we can't do,

Soon as our sun sets

I'm gonna find you girl,

I'm gonna try and make you laugh

And once she kiss me without look

I'm gonna take her hand

'Cause everything about her reminds me

Of all the broken romance behind me

I'm giving lover another chance to find me

On these American nights!

Days like these don't come up any higher

We've got main street light up like a fire

Nothing compares to breathe in the air

When I'm back in my hometown

Someday my kids will run like I did

On these streets and old playgrounds!

I wanna drive all night,

Turn up the radio loud

Love's hanging in the breeze

I shut the whole world out

So come and ride with me baby

I'm saving you the front seat baby

Feeling nothing but free baby

On these American nights!

On these American nights!
