Lyrics

Standing in line for a piece of the wealth
Rich politicians keep it all for themselves
I was thrown scraps ever since I left home
Treated like poor white trash wherever I roamed
Still you know I'm doing the best that I can
I'm an American man

Driving trucks and moving loads
Life for me is one winding road
Through the town where everyone's as poor as dirt
Through the city of gold where nobody's hurting
Through it all I still remember who I am
I'm an American man

I get an idea and I follow my plan
Still work the job I learned from my dad
And on the highest hill I'll make my last stand
It's freedom or be damned
I'm an American man

Still call my mama every Sunday night
I know the difference 'tween right and wrong
And I'm trying to do what's right
My parents raised me up to be who I am
I'm an American man
