American Spirit - Kathryn Gallagher

I’ve got 50 milliliters of Fireball Whiskey

In the bottom of my bag where you asked me to keep it

I’ve been doing some thinking 'bout this past weekend

And the 7:30 drive from where I left you sleeping, baby

How you took my hand and said, «Hey, I need someone

Would you be my someone tonight?»

Held me tight, said, «this feels right.

Sometimes things just do

You said, „shit.

One day, I could marry you.“»

American spirits and the fathers who leave 'em

Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces

Catching girls like me, they think they’ve found it

In the morning they’re gone 'cause we’re not what they needed

And we’ll never be

Oh oh, we’ll never be

Oh, I’ll never be

But I’m still falling

I’m flashing back to meeting your mother

You were so hurt and she couldn’t make it better

You screamed and she yelled 'til it all came out

So much love no one’s figure out

So I held you

So somebody had you

And i still got you

American spirits and the fathers who leave 'em

Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces

Catching girls like me, they think they’ve found it

In the morning they’re gone 'cause we’re not what they needed

And we’ll never be

Oh oh, we’ll never be

Oh, I’ll never be

But I’m still falling

You got the name of a girl

Tattooed on your neck

I wonder what’s she’s like, does she love you well?

I was thinking 'bout your funeral

And how we’ll all have one

Would it be strange if I came?

Since none of your friends know my name?

American spirits and the fathers who leave 'em

Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces

Catching girls like me, they think they’ve found it

In the morning they’re gone 'cause we’re not what they needed

And we’ll never be

Oh oh, we’ll never be

Oh, I’ll never be

But I’m still falling

I’m still falling

I’m still falling

Woah Oh Oh
