Me an
d my sister used to run our miles
About growing up and
getting out
We're both still livin' in
the same damn house
And there ain't nobody goin' nowhere
My old man Frankie just turned 58
Talk s retirement,
tells my mama someday
They can't make it on that 401K
So there ain't nobody
goin' nowhere
We're a family, American style
Hard hats and the steel mills,
farmers on the plow
We're all in this together,
every mother, man and child
We're family American style
I got an uncle down in Tennessee
Had him a good job building GMCs
He got the news that plant
is headed overseas
And there ain't nobody going nowhere
And my main man Mikey's
livin' on my couch
I moved my girlfriend in
my momma's house
Hey man, the bank's tryin'
to throw everybody out
But there ain't nobody goin' nowhere
We're a family, American style
From the hard hats and the steel mill
To the farmers on the plow
We're all in this together
Every mother, man, and child
We're family, American style
And oh, the red, white, and blue
Hey, and we're built on
folks like me and you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
To all the good folks workin' overtime
And all you soldiers
on the battle lines
Just know I got your back, hell
I know you got mine
Yeah, yeah, we're a family
American style
If you feel the way I do
Stand up and say hello,
yeah, yeah, yeah
We're a family, American style
Hard hats and the steel mills
Farmers on the plow
We're all in this together
Every mother, man, and child
We're a family, we're a family,
American style
We're a family, we're a family,
American style
We're a family, we're a family you
