Young American Heart - Benson Boone

Lyrics by：Benson Boone/Jack LaFrantz/Evan Blair

Composed by：Benson Boone/Jack LaFrantz/Evan Blair

I remember we were only sixteen at the time

We stole your daddy's car the day you learned to drive

You nearly killed us both a half mile down the road

Yeah we were upside down and moving in slow motion

We're just floating

So wild and free

And it all made sense to me

If I'm gonna die a young American

And this was the final night we'd ever have again

I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherever you are

'Cause you stole my young American heart

Well it's been a long two years since you have left the country

And now you and I we're living in some crazy times

And I get so scared we'll never make it through our twenties

And we'll lose it all for nothing nothing

If I'm gonna die a young American

And this was the final night we'd ever have again

I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherever you are

'Cause you stole my young American heart

My young American heart my young American heart

You stole my you stole my American Heart

(We were free-falling)

My young American heart my young American heart

You stole my you stole my American Heart

(We were free)

My young American heart my young American heart

You stole my you stole my American Heart

If I'm gonna die a young American

And this was the final night we'd ever have again

I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherever you are

'Cause you stole my young American heart

My young American heart

My young American heart

My young American

You stole my young American heart
