American Wife - Rilo Kiley

'Losing your brave 'is that what he said

The flag will still wave even after you're dead

I'll be your American wife

Like the eagle perched atop the globe

We'll climb up above the smog and

Live in blissful ignorance

With a dog and a TV set

We'll eat flesh 'til we're fatter than our friends

But I only play the fool very often

I only bet my heart like a spade

But I like the gambling life

You never know what you're gonna get

Bet your shoes keys and glasses

You'll be barefoot free from debt blinded and wandering;

Maybe then you'll be happier

(then you'll be happier)

The wind used to come and nearly blow you over

The wind doesn't move down these parts anymore

And so goes the bartering life

Caught for food then they strap you down

You scream 'Miami was pretty before we were bitter;

Before we let our sadness litter the streets '

You offered your father could be mine

We looked at your family tree and politely declined

You have eleven siblings

Who've had ten broken limbs

Nine divorces

And eight broken hearts

And seven grandkids

And six bypass surgeries

Five college degrees

Four are sick;

Three are well

Two are dead

One's in jail

No one here moves away

No one here moves away

'Come on to the grave 'is that what I said

(Is that what I said )

My memory fades when I'm drinking in bed

I miss the sobering life

The comforter will not come unto to me

'Til I'm a fearless faithless

Nothing at all

'Cause no one escapes their life

No one escapes their life

No one escapes their life

(No one No one)

It may sound depressing

It's just a life lesson

In the bartering gambling life

I'll be your American Wife
