Lyrics

[00:00.61] 11.National Anthem
[00:03.35] .
[00:04.85] I never will forget you my American love
[00:12.79] And I'll always remember you, wild as they come
[00:20.91] And though if I saw you I'd pretend not to know
[00:29.35] The place where you were in my heart is now closed
[00:37.10] I already live with too many ghosts
[00:41.10] .
[00:44.04] Now everybody, lately, is living up in space
[00:52.29] Flying through transmissions on invisible airwaves
[01:00.16] With everything discovered just waiting to be known
[01:08.47] What's left for God to teach from His throne?
[01:16.54] And who will forgive us when He's gone?
[01:19.79] .
[01:23.16] So take what you need now, honey
[01:27.66] And do what you like
[01:33.60] Don't worry about me, mama, I'm alright.
[01:40.72] And I can't stand the weather, no, I never liked the rain
[01:49.91] We drink on the job, then we go home early
[01:57.79] And I remember she used to look so good in that dress
[02:06.22] Now she just screams how I promised her more than this
[02:13.66] Take it easy baby, it ain't over yet
[02:20.10] .
[02:20.91] So take what you need now, honey
[02:25.15] And do what you like
[02:31.33] Don't worry about me, mama, I'm alright
[02:39.20] And if there's something you need...
[02:43.89] And if there's something you find...
[02:49.70] Whatever gets you through the night
[02:54.33] Whatever gets you through the night
[03:00.27] And I never will forget you my American love
[03:08.14] And I'll always remember you wild as they do come
