The american in me Lyrics
The american in me by Steve Forbert
I [F]need me a destina[Am]tion
I [Bb]ain't the kinda cat's gon' [C]just jump in his car an' [F]drive [Am]

[Bb]so [C]then when am i going to [F]arrive? [Am] [Bb] [C]
chorus:
and i guess it's [Bb]just [C]
the [F]american in [Am]me
and i guess it's [Bb]just [C]
the [F]way i'm apt to [Am]be
and i guess it's [Bb]just [C]
they're [F]stoppin' me out on the [Am]freeway
[Bb]'n they ask of me what i [C]do and where i'm [F]bound [Am] [Bb] [C]

the off [C]ramp backed up [Bb]miles today
and the carbon [F]fumes
[F]were drifting towards the [F]sky

and the thunder [C]booms
an' i'm [F]back once again on the [Am]car lot
[Bb]an' i ain't even [C]paid for that thing i drove up in [F]yet [Am] [Bb]

[F]well, i might make a trade an' i [Am]might not
[Bb]but i know i'll [C]remain in [F]debt [Am] [Bb] [C]
