My Father Was An American

My father was, an american
My father was, an american
He kept a gun, in the closet at home
He knew that he, had to go it alone

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhhh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhhh

My father was, a gambler and proud
Worked like a dog, was violent and loud
My father was, as big as the state
Drove to The Keys, in an old coupe de ville

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhhh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhhh

My father had, a generous heart
My father blew, his family apart
My father was, an american
