My father bought a station wagon back in 1966 Use to take us driving on a Sunday through the Delaware sticks Yeah my sister and my brother riding in the back Watching 20 miles of railroad track Disappear behind them like a poem that was way too long While my dad tapped on the steering wheel and whistled an American song My cousins came from New York every summer and we'd all sleep in tents Never saw my uncle without the pork pie hat on his head Yeah he and my dad would talk late into the night Wondering if the world would ever be right While us kids were upstairs laughing and fighting and carrying on Singing different verses of the same American song Second jobs, second shifts second chances just like this And not a second left to hate American dreams and American plans electric guitars in American bands We were already great My friend Salma came here when she was just 18 She worked hard, loved her new country, helped her neighbor, caught the American Dream Every now and then she puts sneakers on Runs smiling down the street in some marathon And every now and then she gets to go back home to Qaraoun, Lebenon Where she sings them her own version of a brand new American song Yeah, she singing an American Song Sing, sing, sing an American Song Sing, sing, sing an American Song Sing, sing, sing an American Song
