I believe this song is as simple as the lyrics are. She sees America and Americans as youthful, naive, and simple. She sees America for what it was in the days of Elvis, Springstein, and Tom Petty. She uses music and references to other artists music to explain what makes HER feel American. I love how honest she is through her music and how she reveals her insecurities without holding back..not so much in this song as in others but you can identify a few instances in this song.
