In the garden, sunlight-painted skin
Country backroads, never see again
West coast sunset, blue jeans broken in
American
I've been away for way too long
American
I only miss you when I'm gone
Halfway home and still I can't forget
Melodies were ringin' in our head
American
I've been away for way too long
American
I only miss you when I'm gone
And I'm not sayin' I'd never roam
But if I ever leave again I'm coming home
Carry you with me in a song
All your mystery keeps me hangin' on
Carry you with me in a song
All your mystery keeps me hangin' on
American
I've been away for way too long
American
I only miss you when I'm gone
American
I'm not sayin' I'd never roam
American
But if I ever leave again I'd go home
American
