[00:05.90] Phil Vassar
[00:17.09] I was ten,I was thin,
[00:19.15] I was playing first base
[00:21.21] with a secondhand glove and dirt on my face
[00:26.28] In nowhere, Virginia
[00:27.28]
[00:28.56] Who'd ever figure that kid in the yard
[00:32.24] would go very far
[00:34.56] It was 419 Lakewood,had no silverspoons
[00:36.99]
[00:38.18] Just an old beat up upright
[00:40.93] that played out of tune
[00:43.30] Now I'm singin' and living the life that I love
[00:46.80] And when I count my blessings I thank God I was
[00:51.36] An American child
[00:55.24] An American child
[00:59.99] 'Cause dreams can grow wild
[01:02.45] Born inside an American child
[01:12.95] Seven pounds, three ounces, she's got my nose
[01:16.67] And she's into my heart as deep as it goes
[01:21.17] With a promise
[01:22.18] that's more than just someone's last name
[01:25.18] Anyone's equal, in late August came
[01:29.56] An American child
[01:33.87] An American child
[01:38.43] 'Cause dreams can grow wild
[01:40.83] Born inside an American child
[01:59.46] My grandfather would have been eighty today
[02:05.60] But in '45 he fell down beside an American child
[02:13.35] An American child
[02:16.60] Oh, an American child
[02:22.23] 'Cause dreams can grow wild
[02:24.35] born inside an American child
[02:29.41] An American child
