They pulled in just behind the bridge He lays her down he frowns Gee my life's a funny thing am I still too young
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring took his babies
It took him minutes took her nowhere Heaven knows she'd have taken anything but All night She wants the young American
Young American young American she wants the young American
All right She wants the young American
All the way from Washington
Her bread winner begs off the bathroom floor We live for just these twenty years Do we have to die for the fifty more
All night He wants the young American
Young American young American he wants the young American All right He wants the young American
Do you remember your President Nixon
Do you remember the bills you have to pay
For even yesterday
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler Black's got respect and white's got his soul train Mama's got cramps and look at your hands ache
I heard the news today oh boy I got a suite and you got defeat Ain't there a man you can say no more And ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw And ain't there a child I can hold without judging Ain't there a pen that will write before they die Ain't you proud that you've still got faces Ain't there one damn song that can make me
Break down and cry
All night I want the young American
Young American young American I want the young American All right I want the young American young American Young American young American I want is a young American All night
I want you
