I was ten, I was thin, I was playing first base with a secondhand glove and dirt on my face In nowhere, Virginia Who`d ever figure that kid in the yard would go very far It was 419 Lakewood , had no silverspoons Just an old beat up upright that played out of tune Now I`m singin` and living the life that I love And when I count my blessings I thank God I was An American child
An American child `Cause dreams can grow wild Born inside an American child
Seven pounds, three ounces, she`s got my nose And she`s into my heart as deep as it goes With a promise that`s more than just someone`s last name Anyone`s equal, in late August came An American child
An American child `Cause dreams can grow wild Born inside an American child
My grandfather would have been eighty today But in `45 he fell down beside an American child
An American child Oh, an American child `Cause dreams can grow wild born inside an American child An American child
