old birds have opinions
they sing and they shout
beautiful songs from the soul that no one cares to figure out
I need to know but I'm just a kid and I need room to grow
tonight! we go where we wanna go
we say what we need to say
even if the long road takes us home
tomorrow's a new day
we form our opinions
yeah. call it American
but who believes a smile from child with all of his teeth clinched
my feelings show cause I'm just a man
and I need room to grow
