American Lyrics

Play house, put my favorite record on
Get down, get your crystal method on
You were like tall, tan driving 'round the city
Flirting with the girls like,"You're so pretty"
"Springsteen is the king, don't you think?"
I was like, "Hell yeah, that guy can sing"

Like ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-whoa

You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh

Drive fast, I can almost taste it now
L.A., I don't even have to fake it now
You're like so sick, everybody said it
You're way ahead of the trend, ge-get it
Elvis is the best, hell yes
Honey, put on that party dress

Like ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-whoa

You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh

Everybody wants to go fast but they can't compare
I don't really want the rest, only you can take me there
I don't even know what I'm saying but I'm praying for you

You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh
Like an American

What is the Meaning of American?

Imagine cruising through the sun-drenched streets of a nostalgic dreamscape, where youth and freedom reign supreme. Lana Del Rey's evocative lyrics paint a picture of carefree romance, idolizing American icons like Springsteen and Elvis as symbols of timeless cool. The song captures the essence of youthful exuberance, with golden skin glistening under the Californian sun and hearts racing faster than muscle cars on an open highway. It's about living in the moment, embracing your wild side, and feeling invincible under the spell of love and adventure. With every beat, it beckons you to be young, bold, and unapologetically proud—just like an American dream come to life.
