Standard (EADGBE)

I was born in Coastal Maine

 Then moved away south of LA

San Diego knows my name (yo, what up Zach?)

 But now I live in cars and planes

These long drives long flights

 I wouldn't trade for anything

Everybody wanna piece Americana (U.S.A.)

 But she don't come so easily

All the kids are gonna do what they wanna

 Oh oh

 And when we get older we can sing

Oh whoa whoa

Oh whoa oh

 We all around the world living The American Dream yeah

Oh whoa whoa

Oh whoa oh

 We all around the world living The American Dream

Almost died in Carolina

Crashed the van, it caught on fire

 If you've been down and out throw up your lighters

 We're a little older, little brighter

Time goes by, time flies

 So don't you wait for anything

Everybody wanna piece Americana (U.S.A.)

 But she don't come so easily

All the kids are gonna do what they wanna

 Oh oh

 And when we get older we can sing

Oh whoa whoa

Oh whoa oh

 We all around the world living The American Dream yeah

Oh whoa whoa

Oh whoa oh

 We all around the world living The American Dream

Most of my friends got college loans

Sending them my love from the road

 Got souvenirs from 50 states

Little magnets that say my name

 Am I famous? Eh, not quite.

 But shameless? You got that right.

 A toast you your wife, toast to your life

Toast to the night, start it off right

Oh whoa whoa

Oh whoa oh

 We all around the world living The American Dream yeah

Oh whoa whoa

Oh whoa oh

 We all around the world living The American Dream

Everybody wanna piece Americana (U.S.A.)

 But she don't come so easily

All the kids are gonna do what they wanna

 Oh oh

 And when we get older we can sing

Oh whoa whoa

Oh whoa oh

 We all around the world living The American Dream yeah

Oh whoa whoa

Oh whoa oh

 We all around the world living The American Dream
