verse 1
E G#7
I pick her up about 7 for the football game
C#m7 A
My Camaro all painted up in flames
E G#7 C#m7 A
But damn, she was the one that was on fire
E G#7
She was head-to-toe red, white and blue
C#m7 A
That lipstick, tank top, daisy dukes
E G#7 C#m7 A
She had my head spinning faster than them 4 bald eagle tires
[Refrão]
E G#7 C#m7
I was all caught up in that American love
A E G#7 C#m7
Two young hearts, one cool car
A E G#7
And all we wanted to do was park, kiss, smoke, drink
C#m7 A
I love this song, baby, what do you think?
E G#7
She turned it up, windows fogging up
C#m7 A E G#7 C#m7 A
We were living it up, up, up in that American love
verse 2
E G#7
I parked the Chevy by the levy on a Friday night
C#m7 A
We were naming all the stars up in that sky
E G#7 C#m7 A
And I named the brightest one right after her
E G#7
And the summer sunset was something to see
C#m7 A
With her leaning all up real close to me
E G#7 C#m7 A
And with a six pack, the next thing I knew, we were in the backseat, you know
[Refrão]
