American Secrets

When the sun fell low in the blood red sky yeah

Every house called out as we passed them by yeah

She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in yeah

Oh I'm still racing home from the place I've been

It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one

And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)

American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)

Had a dream it was ours and we just didn't know yet

We would drive by right through every lonely street yeah

Smell the truth in her hair felt the world in my feet yeah

But we were just two kids in a beat up car

Oh I'm still driving home from the things I've done

It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one

And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)

American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)

Had a dream it was ours that we just didn't know yet (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)

American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)

Had a dream it was ours that was lost in the regrets

We were caught on the inside

Left it all on that bedside

Give me one more minute with those baby blues

We pull up

Oh she looks back and waves as I wait too long

I can picture her room as the lights go on

I'm still dancing along with the way it was

I'm still dancing along with the way it was

Give me one more, give me one more

Give me one more minute with my baby

Give me one more, give me one more

Give me one more minute with American secrets

Give me one more, give me one more

Oh she looks back and waves as she slips inside

Every hope in the world and those bright blue eyes

I'm still dancing along with the way it was

Got my mind made up

And I'm coming back for you

I can hear your voice calling and I'll be there soon

I can see you there in the bedroom by those stairs

Oh I've always been running but I don't know where

And ohhh oh oooh and ohhh oh oooh

It took 25 years but I finally see

Not the boy I was in the car that you saw leave

I'm still not the man that I thought I'd be

But when those trumpets sound when the good Lord calls my name

Oh I'm gonna be with you

Oh I'm gonna be with you

And ohhh oh oooh

And ohhh oh oooh

It took 25 years but I finally see

And ohhh oh oooh

And ohhh oh oooh

It took 25 years but I finally see

It took 25 years but I finally see

It took 25 years but I think I see
