American Wife - Rilo Kiley (里奥·久利)[00:00:00]

'Losing your brave 'is that what he said [00:00:16]

The flag will still wave even after you're dead [00:00:22]

I'll be your American wife [00:00:30]

Like the eagle perched atop the globe [00:00:35]

We'll climb up above the smog and[00:00:38]

Live in blissful ignorance[00:00:42]

With a dog and a TV set [00:00:44]

We'll eat flesh 'til we're fatter than our friends [00:00:47]

But I only play the fool very often [00:00:53]

I only bet my heart like a spade [00:01:00]

But I like the gambling life [00:01:07]

You never know what you're gonna get [00:01:13]

Bet your shoes keys and glasses [00:01:16]

You'll be barefoot free from debt blinded and wandering;[00:01:19]

Maybe then you'll be happier[00:01:24]

(then you'll be happier)[00:01:28]

The wind used to come and nearly blow you over [00:01:34]

The wind doesn't move down these parts anymore [00:01:40]

And so goes the bartering life [00:01:48]

Caught for food then they strap you down [00:01:54]

You scream 'Miami was pretty before we were bitter;[00:01:56]

Before we let our sadness litter the streets '[00:02:02]

You offered your father could be mine [00:02:43]

We looked at your family tree and politely declined [00:02:50]

You have eleven siblings [00:02:57]

Who've had ten broken limbs [00:03:00]

Nine divorces [00:03:03]

And eight broken hearts [00:03:06]

And seven grandkids [00:03:08]

And six bypass surgeries [00:03:11]

Five college degrees [00:03:15]

Four are sick;[00:03:18]

Three are well [00:03:19]

Two are dead [00:03:20]

One's in jail [00:03:22]

No one here moves away [00:03:24]

No one here moves away [00:03:26]

'Come on to the grave 'is that what I said [00:03:32]

(Is that what I said )[00:03:38]

My memory fades when I'm drinking in bed [00:03:39]

I miss the sobering life [00:03:47]

The comforter will not come unto to me[00:03:52]

'Til I'm a fearless faithless[00:03:55]

Nothing at all[00:03:58]

'Cause no one escapes their life [00:04:01]

No one escapes their life[00:04:04]

No one escapes their life[00:04:07]

(No one No one)[00:04:10]

It may sound depressing [00:04:13]

It's just a life lesson [00:04:15]

In the bartering gambling life [00:04:18]

I'll be your American Wife[00:04:24]
