American Fool

Little ditty about jack and diane
Two american kids growin

Office girls, they pass me by
They don

You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,
Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That you're cool.........so cool..........so cool.

Say, "i'munna hold onto that a while and i will and i'll be tame",
Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,
Be an old girl drivin' the young boys insane,
Be a joker, a preacher....it does not matter.

Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

Havin' good luck with your financial situation,
Play the ponies, be the president of the united nation,
Go to work and be a hollywood stand,
Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, but

Repeat chorus

And in those hours when you're alone,
And there's nobody there except yourself,
I know it.........you wanna pick up the phone,
And say, "talk to me, talk to me, somebody please
Talk to me!" yeah!

Guitar solo
Ohh, yeah!
Chorus

Repeat chorus

In these long, hot summer days
Need a way to cool ourselves down
Pop off the top of that chevrolet
Drive through the carwash
Laugh and fall around

Smokin´ the old ducados the old man got down in spain
Eatin´ eggs and french fries on the side
Ride that harley davidson in the hot summer heat
Lord knows that i just love to ride

Go by and pick up that kentucky girl
She knew me when i got my start
Oh yeah, those were diferent days...

Chorus:
In the valley of the thundering hearts
Thundering hearts
Thundering hearts
Thundering hearts

Get your crazy hair, girl, right on my face
This old redneck
