I've seen God's true face
I've seen God's children in trailer parks
Seen caddies cruising for movie stars
A ruby saddle in a neon sky
A southern town, even time passed by
I watched the sun fall down in the canyons
I newly met my maker in L.A.
I thought I'd seen it
Until she showed me the American way
Oh, the American way
Well, I woke up to a brand new day
The American way
Flying jade
Shown a light on me
Like my one
True friend
I was happy to be
On a diamond highway
Rolling on
As we drove through the night
The radio sang along
I had a crisis out on the back road
I spent eternity on the freeway
And I was truly lost
Until she showed me the American way
Oh, the American way
Well, she forced me on my knees to pray
The American way
Shine on me
Oh, my good friend
Shine on us all
And on the freeway
Won't you shine on
I seen an angel drink from a bottle
Heard everything she had to say
But I won't do nothing
Until she showed me the American way
Oh, the American way
Oh, the American way
Oh, the American way
Oh, the American way
I've come to a brand new day
And she forced me on my knees to pray
And I swear I have Superman
Telling me it's okay
It's the American way
Oh, the American way
Oh, the American way
Oh, the American way
Yeah, the American way




Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
