Track Name: I Was Born An American (Folk Version)
I was born an American I think about it a lot
I wonder how and why and when
To be born and American
I wonder what it means
Who am I and who are we and is this really alright?
To be born an American
Born an American
Born an American

But I was born an American
A place to call my home
A microcosm of the world
And this place called America
Well you hear about it a lot
Politicians with big ambitions
For that we've fought
fought and fought

Born an American
I was born an American
Born an American

Oh say can you see if nation might be wrong
Oh tis of these that I've wondered far too long
Is it a dream that's just a dream thats just a dream
In a world we don't belong
Do we belong?
Do we belong?
Do we belong?

Born an American
Born an American
Born an American
Track Name: She's The American Hippie Girl
Oh American Hippie Girl
Oh American Hippie Girl

She's the American Hippie Girl
With flowers in her hair wearing beads and pearls
On her pin it says imagine world peace
Her t-shirt reads - war must seize
Well I'm the boy standin' by her side with a grin so wide while I swallow my pride
For a peaceful as she appears to be
She just won't make peace, peace with me
No she won't make peace, peace with me

She's the girl acts a little strange
but she'll do what she can to make a change
She'll change what she does from day to day
change consumerism, environmental decay
Well I'm the boy that needs to let her be so she can change the global economy
She'll change for human rights but I just can't see

Why she won't change at all for me
No she won't change at for me

Oh American Hippie Girl
Oh American Hippie Girl
She's the girl with the strong ideals
An independent women with a heart of steel
