American Way (Re-Recorded) - Little River Band

I’ve seen God’s children in trailer parks

Seen Caddies cruisin' for movie stars

A ruby saddle in a neon sky

And a southern town even time passed by

I watched the sun fall down in the canyons

I nearly met my maker in LA

I thought I’d seen it all

Until she showed me the American way

Oh, the American way

Well I woke up to a brand new day

The American way

Flyin' J shone a light on me

Like my one true friend I was happy to be

On a diamond highway rollin' on

As we drove through the night the radio sang along

I had a crisis out on the back road

I spent eternity on the freeway

And I was truly lost

Until she showed me the American way

Oh, the American way

Well she forced me on my knees to pray

The American way

Shine on me

Home of the brave

Shine on us all

Land of the free

Won’t you shine on

I’ve seen an angel drink from the bottle

I heard everything she had to say

But I know I knew nothing

Until she showed me the American way

Oh, the American way

Well I woke up to a brand new day

And she forced me on my knees to pray

And I swear I heard Superman

Tellin' me it’s OK

It’s the American way

Oh, the American way, the American way

Here she comes

Here she comes

Here she comes here she comes
