Lyrics The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady

American Music

Do you like American music?

I like American music

Don't you like American music, baby?

I want you to hold me

I want your arms around me

I want you to hold me, baby

Did you do too many drugs?

I did too many drugs

Did you do too many drugs, too, baby?

You were born too late

I was born too soon

But every time I look at that ugly moon

It reminds me of you

It reminds me of you ooh ooh ooh

I need a date to the prom

Would you like to come along?

But nobody would go to the prom with me, baby

They didn't like American music

They never heard American music

They didn't know the music was in my soul, baby

You were born too soon

I was born too late

But every time I look at that ugly lake

It reminds me of me

It reminds me of me

Do you like American music?

We like American music

I like American music, baby

Do you like American music?

We like all kinds of music

But I like American music best, baby

You were born too late

And I was born too late

But every time I look at that ugly lake

It reminds me of me

It reminds me of me

Do you like American music?

It reminds me of me

Do you like American music?
