Do you make your bed and sweep the floor?
Brush your teeth before you chores?
Can you throw a curve ball? Skip a stone?
Take a punch to your jaw bone?
What makes you an American man?
You don't represent this place.
What makes me an American man?
It's not written on my face.
Do you have the patience to live your live
Without showing them the light?
Do you love you freedom and love to fight?
Wanna make 'em see what's right?
What makes you an American man?
You don't represent this place.
What makes me an American man?
It's not written on my face.
I am an American man.
