Ultimate Sacrifice The American Way Lyrics

Find a friend, lose control
Fall in love and lose your soul
Settle down, buy a ring
Wait awhile, have a fling
Work it out, raise a kid
Then look back at what you did
Never alone, so it's okay
Just livin' life the American Way
Life and liberty
The pursuit of happiness
A freedom country, yet
The chains still bind our wrists
Whatever happened to the thankfulness?
Run the race, don't get behind
Win the game and lose your mind
Nine to five, you finally arrived But mixed up lived with survived
Own a house, drive two cars
Quit cigarettes and smoke cigars
Never alone, yeah it's okay
Just living life the American Way
Sixty one, the heart is gone
The game is over, but was it won
The kids are grown and she'll be fine
But all of that is left behind
What can be seen on the other side
Is there a place to run and hide
Finally alone, I hope it's okay
It was a life lived the American Way
The American Way
