Lyrics and translation
Original
Ah
American love
American me
American you
American tears
American heartbreak
Oh, oh, oh
I took a walk with the palm trees as the daylight fell
Sangria in a canteen, talking to myself
This tattoo on my left hand is turning purplish blue
Daydreams of the romance, daydreams of you
My pretty woman in a ballgown
I'm Richard Gere in a tux
Getting married in a courthouse
Writing vows in a rush
Making out before the judge
With my teenage wife
Got a wedding band done
That I just might die with
It's an American wedding
They don't mean too much
But we were so in love
We had an American wedding
Now what's mine is yours
That's American law
Mrs. Dot Kennedy
She signed her name in pen
In a fancy, fancy cursive
Then turned the term papers in
A thesis on Islamic
Virgin brides and arranged marriage
Eggs and polygamist husbands
Those poor un-American girls
After school she ran to me
Jumped in my 5.0
This is the home where the brave landed the free
But your parents still didn't know
She said, "I've had a hell of a summer
So baby, don't take this hard
But maybe we should get an annulment
Before this goes way too far"
It's just an American wedding
They don't mean too much
They don't last enough
We had an American wedding, oh
Now what's mine is yours
American divorce
Well, you can have my Mustang
That's all I got in my name
But Jesus Christ, don't break my heart
This wedding ring won't ever wipe off
But if you stay
Oh, if you stay
You'll probably leave later anyway
It's love made in the USA, oh
