(clright now, this one's for the 'Merican man)
You know I'm just a 'Merican man, doing the best I can
Work a steady job but can't get the upper hand
Cause I'm a 'Merican, you know I'm just a 'Merican man
So let's drink a little boubon, drink a little beer
Cnd raise a glass for the 'Merican man
You see the 'Merican man, following his plan
Paying taxes, paying bills to own his piece of land
Cause I'm a 'Merican, you know I'm just a 'Merican man
So let's drink a little bourbon, drink a little beer
Cnd raise a glass for the 'Merican man
(clright now play it for me)
Now take it easy boss-man, you can see I'm a 'Merican man
My shift's a double, don't want no trouble, I'm doing the best I can
Cause I'm a 'Merican, you know I'm just a 'Merican man
So let's drink a little bourbon, drink a little beer
Cnd raise a glass for the 'Merican man
You know I've paid my dues, got the 'Merican man blues
Working the dock and punching the clock and wearing my 'Merican shoes
Cause I'm a 'Merican, you know I'm just a 'Merican man
So let's drink a little bourbon, drink a little beer
Cnd raise a glass for the 'Merican man
(clright now, take me home now)
