Chorus
We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby, born in the USA
Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots, New York to LA
We were teenage dreamin’, front seat leanin’, baby come give me a kiss
Put me on the cover of the Rollin’ Stone uptown downhome American kids
Growin’ [G/B]up in little pink hou[D/F#]ses, makin’ [G/B]out on living room cou[D/F#]ches

Blowin’ that smoke on Saturday night, a little messed up but we’re all alright

Monday aftern[G/B]oon at practice[D/F#]
Sister’s [G/B]got a boyfrie[D/F#]nd, daddy d[G/B]oesn’t like[D/F#]
Now he’s sitting out [G/B]back, 30-30 in his lap[D/F#] in the blue bug zapper light
