Bilingual
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
ย
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
ย
I'm an American, I'm an American
And I wish you good luck with whatever you do
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
I'm an American, I'm an American
I respect you and your point of view
ย
I'm an American, I'm an American
And I wish you good luck with whatever you do
