Hell Yeah (I'm American)


Some live on the West Coast Some live in the South Some live in the Midwest That's where I was born and raised Raised up by a single mama with a mama bear attitude And a real bad mouth I know she did her best Some folks live in New England Some live in the country And some live in cities and towns Some people live on farms Where they take care of the animals and the crops That end up in a store or restaurant Wherever those big trucks are all bound Then there's Mackinaw Island Where they don't use no cars It's like in the old days you could take a horse and buggy ride or walk But walking is too long and far (Chorus) If you ask what I am I'll tell you I'm a citizen of the USA We the people Have got something to say Hell yeah (I'm American) Hell yeah (I'm American) I remember seeing the fireworks each year on the Fourth Of July I remember going to Cedar Point in Ohio And Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon I loved that place as a kid, I'm not gonna lie (Repeat Chorus) Miami Florida And Georgia North and South Carolina too Kentucky and Louisiana Are known for good Soul Food Don't mind if I do (Repeat Chorus) Texas and New Mexico Arizona, Nevada California and Washington as well Tennessee and Maine A lot of these states were used in books and movies Stephen King his stories are scary as hell He's my favorite author For years I avoided going by street side drains To Colorado And the Stanley Hotel I hope to visit one of these days When I can get there eventually I wanna see the place for myself To see if the hair on my arms will raise Hey Wisconsin You guys are really cool I wanna make a shout out to everyone there No matter what state you live in As long as it's the U.S of A This song goes out to all 50 states everywhere Hawaii and Puerto Rico Gotta include them too Both places got good food So I hear people say (Repeat Chorus) Hell yeah (I'm American) Hell yeah (I'm American) Hell yeah (I'm American). (Coda).
