Steve Forbert - The American In Me lyrics

I need me a destination I ain't the kinda cat's gon' Just jump in his car and drive I'm usin' my transportation So then when am I going to arrive? And I guess it's just The American in me And I guess it's just The way I'm apt to be And I guess it's just They're stoppin' me out on the freeway They ask of me what I do And where the hell I'm bound I used to get a lot more leeway Hey, well now I get a lot more down And I guess it's just The American in me And I guess it's just The way I'm apt to be And I guess it's just The off ramp backed up miles today And the carbon fumes Were drifting towards the sky The sky began to cry And the thunder booms And I'm back once again on the car lot Now I ain't even paid for that thing I drove up in yet Well, I might make a trade and I might not But I know I'll remain in debt And I guess it's just The American in me And I guess it's just The way I'm apt to be And I guess it's just, yeah [Harmonica Solo] And I guess it's just The American in me And I guess it's just The way I'm apt to be And I guess it's just, yeah
