(verse 1)
I grew up under normal conditions,
Mom was the radio, Dad was the television,
They both were doin the best that they could,
Workin 50 hour a weeks and knockin on wood,
(Break - - - - - - )
(verse 2)
I did my time in the public school system,
I got good grades, and never got a shred of wisdom,
Can t blame my teachers, for anything they did,
You can t teach one on one with 33 kids,
(chorus)
And it s oohh - oohh I m doin alright,
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
And it s oohh - oohh I guess I m doin ok,
Livin and Dyin the American way,
(verse 3)
well I found the one, we put some rooms down,
Got a second mortgage on the outskirts of town,
Now we BBQ every Fourth of July,
Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky,
(chorus)
And it s oohh - oohh I m doin alright,
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
And it s oohh - oohh I guess I m doin ok,
Livin and Lovin the American way,
(lead - - - - - - - )
(bridge)
These days we re thinkin about kids of our own,
Gonna turn this house into a home,
In no time at all they ll be singin along,
(chorus)
oohh - oohh I m doin alright,
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
And it s oohh - oohh I guess I m doin ok,
Livin and Lovin the American way,
(chorus)
And it s oohh - oohh I m doin alright,
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
And it s oohh - oohh I guess I m doin ok,
Livin and Dyin the American way,
Livin and Lovin the American way,
