Intro

(verse 1)

I grew up under normal conditions,

Mom was the radio, Dad was the television,

They both were doin the best that they could,

Workin 50 hour a weeks and knockin on wood,

(Break - - - - - - )

(verse 2)

I did my time in the public school system,

I got good grades, and never got a shred of wisdom,

Can't blame my teachers, for anything they did,

You can't teach one on one with 33 kids,

(chorus)

And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,

I work every day to get to Saturday Night,

And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin ok,

Livin and Dyin the American way,

(verse 3)

well I found the one, we put some rooms down,

Got a second mortgage on the outskirts of town,

Now we BBQ every Fourth of July,

Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky,

(chorus)

And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,

I work every day to get to Saturday Night,

And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin ok,

Livin and Lovin the American way,

(lead - - - - - - - )

(bridge)

These days we're thinkin about kids of our own,

Gonna turn this house into a home,

In no time at all they'll be singin along,

(chorus)

oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,

I work every day to get to Saturday Night,

And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin ok,

Livin and Lovin the American way,

(chorus)

And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,

I work every day to get to Saturday Night,

And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin ok,

Livin and Dyin the American way,

Livin and Lovin the American way,
