American Spirit

I’ve got 50 milliliters of Fireball Whiskey
In the bottom of my bag where you asked me to keep it
I’ve been doing some thinking 'bout this past weekend
And the 7:30 drive from where I left you sleeping, baby
How you took my hand and said, «Hey, I need someone
Would you be my someone tonight?»
Held me tight, said, «this feels right. Sometimes things just do
You said, „shit. One day, I could marry you.“»
American spirits and the fathers who leave 'em
Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces
Catching girls like me, they think they’ve found it
In the morning they’re gone 'cause we’re not what they needed
And we’ll never be
Oh oh, we’ll never be
Oh, I’ll never be
But I’m still falling
I’m flashing back to meeting your mother
You were so hurt and she couldn’t make it better
You screamed and she yelled 'til it all came out
So much love no one’s figure out
So I held you
So somebody had you
And i still got you
American spirits and the fathers who leave 'em
Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces
Catching girls like me, they think they’ve found it
In the morning they’re gone 'cause we’re not what they needed
And we’ll never be
Oh oh, we’ll never be
Oh, I’ll never be
But I’m still falling
You got the name of a girl
Tattooed on your neck
I wonder what’s she’s like, does she love you well?
I was thinking 'bout your funeral
And how we’ll all have one
Would it be strange if I came?
Since none of your friends know my name?
American spirits and the fathers who leave 'em
Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces
Catching girls like me, they think they’ve found it
In the morning they’re gone 'cause we’re not what they needed
And we’ll never be
Oh oh, we’ll never be
Oh, I’ll never be
But I’m still falling
I’m still falling
I’m still falling
Woah Oh Oh
