Ultimate Sacrifice - The American Way lyrics

Find a friend, lose control Fall in love and lose your soul Settle down, buy a ring Wait awhile, have a fling Work it out, raise a kid Then look back at what you did Never alone, so it's okay Just livin' life the American Way Life and liberty The pursuit of happiness A freedom country, yet The chains still bind our wrists Whatever happened to the thankfulness? Run the race, don't get behind Win the game and lose your mind Nine to five, you finally arrived But mixed up lived with survived Own a house, drive two cars Quit cigarettes and smoke cigars Never alone, yeah it's okay Just living life the American Way Sixty one, the heart is gone The game is over, but was it won The kids are grown and she'll be fine But all of that is left behind What can be seen on the other side Is there a place to run and hide Finally alone, I hope it's okay It was a life lived the American Way The American Way
