lyrics

Cash out, settle up
Have you had enough to drink?
And will you ever get clean?

I see that you want a piece of the action
but you never want to get your hands dirty

He was born an American Boy, red with blue eyes

Drink after drink
Drink after drink
Drink after drink

Pushed me closer to the edge of bar-stool
I'm gonna leave you, and you're gonna feel guilty

He was born an American Boy, red with blue eyes

Drink after drink put Johnny to bed, now he only exists
in the thoughts of our head
Line after line 'caused Johnny to tread, now we only got left
the memories of our dead

Well he tried to resist it but he couldn't shake it
It still feels like yesterday

He was born an American Boy, red with blue eyes

(chorus)

I tried to deny you a piece of the action
You got your hands dirty but you're never gonna wake up again

You died an American Boy, red with blue eyes
