American Gothic

I cannot stop listening.

This encapsulates my entire childhood yet he sings it like it's happening now.

I grew up in Ohio, he grew up in Indiana.

Small town living

Lyrics: Cemetery kids on a midnight clear

Saying Bloody Mary in the bathroom mirror

Sneaking Natty Lights down the stairs of the basement

Ain’t much to do but the night’s what you make it

Running down a dream on Stephen King & Kerouac

Children of the Corn Pink House Pink Cadillac

It’s not just any old patch of pitchfork dirt

Stop me if you’ve already heard

The one about....

Mellencamp Springsteen marijuana seventeenWhite frost bean field bonfire keroseneRed Bic lighter in a blue jean pocketLost in the land of American Gothic yeah

Watching Days Of Our Lives on a second hand couch

Nicotine soaked wood panels of the house

Sugar coated Wonder Bread tastes like candy

Black lipstick first kiss in a Camry

Looks a little like…Looks a little like...

Mellencamp Springsteen marijuana seventeen

White frost bean field bonfire kerosene

Red Bic lighter in a blue jean pocketLost in the land of American Gothic yeah

Real life livingReal life living

Going with the grain

Where the colors ain’t fading

Real life living in a real life painting

Looks a little like...Looks a little like...

Mellencamp Springsteen marijuana seventeen

White frost bean field bonfire kerosene

Red Bic lighter in a blue jean pocket        Lost in the land of American Gothic yeah

Mellencamp Springsteen marijuana seventeen

No plans sun tan laying on a trampoline

Red Bic lighter in a blue jean pocket

Lost in the land of American Gothic yeah
