American Boy [French translation]

American boy, living life as it goes

Sittin' on the fence posts

Living in the lie

American boy, living in the real world

Trying just to get the girl

Trying to survive

Chorus:

The simple things in life are always new

growing up on Sam Hill avenue

Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just

the greatest living hero that ever was

Nothing in the world can ever once destroy

the hope of an american boy

Living off of bar tips, trying for relationships

looking for the love

Suddenly rise, an american beauty

suddenly he cheats, sent from above

Chorus:

The simple things in life are always new

growing up on Sam Hill avenue

Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just

the greatest living hero that ever was

Nothing in the world can ever once destroy

the dream of an american boy

American boy, raising little babies

hearing daddy maybe, I'll be like you

Suddenly life, seems just like a new dawn

that's grown up, american boy

Chorus:

The simple things in life are always new

growing up on Grandview avenue

Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just

the greatest living hero that ever was

Nothing in the world will ever once destroy

No, nothing in the world will ever once destroy

the hope of an american boy
