lyrics
You got no money, no house look at you
American man
You're packin' your things and where the hell is Tehran?
Baby slow down and breathe
Just take my advice
I know how to get you paid
And still come home alive
So baby baby
Take that .45
And head down to the Citibank but don't stand in line
Mama needs some fresh green
Green apple pie
An American man he never, never stops trying
You got no car anymore, no credit to your name
Now you're packin' again and what the hell's a Pyongyang
Baby please don't go
Just here me out one sec
There's sweet sweet justice in this paycheck
Baby, I can’t stand to watch you go again
We’ve been through thick and this is the thinnest thin
But there’s always hope on the horizon
An American man he never stops trying
(Oooh red white and blue)
An American man he never stops trying
American man
You're packin' your things and where the hell is Tehran?
Baby slow down and breathe
Just take my advice
I know how to get you paid
And still come home alive
So baby baby
Take that .45
And head down to the Citibank but don't stand in line
Mama needs some fresh green
Green apple pie
An American man he never, never stops trying
You got no car anymore, no credit to your name
Now you're packin' again and what the hell's a Pyongyang
Baby please don't go
Just here me out one sec
There's sweet sweet justice in this paycheck
Baby, I can’t stand to watch you go again
We’ve been through thick and this is the thinnest thin
But there’s always hope on the horizon
An American man he never stops trying
(Oooh red white and blue)
An American man he never stops trying
