American Boy Lyrics

The blue light drives where I come from
The blue light flickers here
And I love an American boy
That's clear

Stone cold stairway
Stone cold highway
Light behind the door
And I love an American boy
That's for sure
That's for sure

Streets are older
Time is wiser
Everybody knows
Hands will come together, gloveless
When I get home
Hands will hold

The river runs the bridge's lights
The road rides like a drum
And I love an American boy
Just because

Oh, shallow pockets
Darkened eyes
And heavy hearts and coats
Hands will come together, gloveless
When I get hom
Hands will hold

The blue light drives where I come from
My heart burns like the sun
And I love an American boy
I love an American boy
I love an American boy
Just one

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
