G C G
Wild American, you're the one they never tamed
C G
'Cause you stood your ground and they could not make you change
C G
You're the warnin' they still don't understand
C G
Watch your back now, they'll kill you if they can
CHORUS:
C G
When they burn your brother down in the name of freedom
C G
I don't care if that's left or right, it's wrong
C G
If that's all they can do then you don't need 'em
D G
You're the one, Wild American

Put your picture in the paper and a price upon your head

Just remember we're all sons of Abraham
CHORUS:

Sing a sadder song of freedom

Slowly sinkin' with the sun

Waitin' for a burnin' star to lead 'em

You're the one, Wild American

You're the one, Wild American
