A Good Old-Fashioned American Boy
By Pat Nason (C) 2010
Verse One
I'm a good old-fashioned American boy
I work with my hands, I play with my toys
I've always been my mama's little pride and joy
I'm a good old-fashioned American boy
Chorus One
I take it as it comes, I play it as it lays
I don't think I'm ever gonna change my ways
My needs are simple and my worries are few
I do what I can, that's all I can do
Verse Two
I eat when I'm hungry, I sleep when I'm tired
I'll work at this job 'til I quit or get fired
A life of contentment is all I desire
I'm a good old-fashioned American boy
Chorus Two
Everything I ever really needed to know
I learned off of some damn TV show
My needs are simple and my worries are few
I do what I can, that's all I can do
Verse Three
There's money in my pocket and gas in my car
I've got my music, I've got my guitar
I'll see you in heaven if I get that far
I'm a good old-fashioned American boy
Chorus Three
I am what I am and that's all what I am
You can like it or not and I won't give a damn
My needs are simple and my worries are few
I do what I can, that's all I can do
Verse Four
I'm proud of my mother, I look up to my dad
I'm thankful for everything that we had
I know how to take the good with the bad
I'm a good old-fashioned American boy
Chorus Four
Call me out of date, call me a square
Call me what you like, see if I care
My needs are simple and my worries are few
I do what I can, that's all I can do
I'm a good old-fashioned American boy
A good old-fashioned American boy
A good old-fashioned American boy
