[00:00.00]American Child - The Hit Crew
[00:17.35]I was ten
[00:18.21]I was thin
[00:19.15]I was playing first base
[00:21.53]With a secondhand glove and dirt on my face
[00:26.01]In nowhere Virginia
[00:28.18]Who'd ever figure that kid in the yard would go very far
[00:34.65]It was 419 Lakewood had no silverspoons
[00:39.00]Just an old beat up upright that played out of tune
[00:43.26]Now I'm singin' and living the life that I love
[00:47.66]And when I count my blessings I thank God I was
[00:52.22]An American child
[00:55.67]An American child
[00:58.27]'Cause dreams can grow wild
[01:03.03]Born inside an American child
[01:14.62]Seven pounds three ounces she's got my nose
[01:18.29]And she's into my heart as deep as it goes
[01:22.65]With a promise that's more than just someone's last name
[01:26.92]Anyone's equal in late August came
[01:31.40]An American child
[01:34.43]An American child
[01:39.59]'Cause dreams can grow wild
[01:42.36]Born inside an American child
[02:02.52]My grandfather would have been eighty today
[02:06.79]But in '45 he fell down beside an American child
[02:16.15]An American child
[02:19.64]Oh an American child
[02:25.25]'Cause dreams can grow wild born inside an American child
[02:32.45]An American child
