Austin Jenckes – American Nights: Live Session

American Nights – Lyrics

Blue Ribbon bottles, big block throttles
Marlboros if you want ’em, go on and take a drag
A little taste of freedom, little small town dreaming
No need to preach, no need to shout, we believe in

American nights, one headlight
Cutting down Main Street in the dark
Muscle Shoals and muscle cars
Earning our stripes underneath these stars

Faded Levi’s, worn out Chucks
Twenty in my pocket feels like a million bucks
Blue-eyed beauty, lean in to me
Our own show in the back row
Miss the whole damn movie

American nights, one headlight
Cutting down Main Street in the dark
Muscle Shoals and muscle cars
Earning our stripes underneath these stars
American nights
American nights
See upcoming country shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

Pray the morning don’t come
These colors don’t run
Stay up and stay young
American nights

American nights, one headlight
Cutting down Main Street in the dark
Muscle Shoals and muscle cars
Earning our stripes underneath these stars
American nights
American nights
American nights
