American boy, living life as it goes
sittin' on the fence posts
living in the lie

American boy, living in the real world
trying just to get the girl
trying to survive


Chorus:


The simple things in life are always new
growing up on Sand Hill avenue
Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just

the greatest living hero that ever was
Nothing in the world can ever once destroy
the hope of an american boy


Living off of bar tips, trying for relationships
looking for the love

Suddenly rise, an american beauty
suddenly he feels, she was sent from above


Chorus:

The simple things in life are always new

growing up on Sand Hill avenue
Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just
the greatest living hero that ever was

Nothing in the world can ever once destroy
the dream of an american boy


American boy, raising little babies
hearing daddy maybe, I'll be like you
Suddenly life, seems just like a new dawn

that's grown up, american boy

Chorus:


The simple things in life are always new
growing up on Grandview avenue

Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just
the greatest living hero that ever was
Nothing in the world will ever once destroy

No, nothing in the world will ever once destroy
the hope of an american boy
