I was running through the backyard Strumming my dad's guitar And I felt like a rockstar When the world's filled with all sorts of more When it's wanting a man I thought that's enough for me I always thought I'm an American boy And I've got stars in my eyes I told that I was the greatest Turns out I'm just like the rest I'm just wanting a man And that ain't enough for me Instrumental So when I grew up The world grew twice as fast And it's so easy to feel lost When it's a million to one I always thought I'm an American boy And I've got stars in my eyes I told that I was the greatest Turns out I'm just like the rest I'm just another American boy Who thinks the world goes around him He dreams of being a star So bright that everyone can see He's just wanting a million Just so far away He's just wanting a million But his dream will stay the same Instrumental
