Blue ribbon bottles, big block throttles

Marlboros if you want 'em

Go on and take a drag

A little small town freedom

A little taste of dreamin'

No need to preach

No need to shout we believe in.

American nights, wanted alive

Cuttin' down main st. in the dark

Muscle shoals, muscle cars

Earnin' our stripes underneath these stars.

Faded levi's, worn out chucks

20 in my pocket, feels like a million bucks

Blue-eyed beauty, lean in to me

Our own show in the back row

Miss the whole damn movie.

American nights, wanted alive

Cuttin' down main st. in the dark

Muscle shoals, muscle cars

Earnin' our stripes underneath these stars.

American nights

American nights

American nights.

Pray the morning don't come

These colors don't run

Stay up and stay young

American nights.

American nights, wanted alive

Cuttin' down main st. in the dark

Muscle shoals, muscle cars

Earnin' our stripes underneath these stars.

American nights

American nights

American nights.

Pray the morning don't come

Stay up and stay young.
