Lyrics

They pulled in just be hind the fridge, he (Dm7)lays her down.

He frowns, (F)“Gee, my life’s a fun ny thing.

Am I still too young?”

He kissed her then and there; she took his ring, took his ba bies.

It (F)took him min utes, took her no where.

(G)Heav en knows, she’d have tak en an y thing.

(F6)All

(G6)night she wants the young A mer i can.

Young A mer i can, young A mer i can, she wants the young A mer i can.

(F6)All

(G6)right, she wants the young A mer i can.

All the way from Wash ing ton her (Dm7)bread win ner begs of the bath room floor.

We live for just these twen ty years till we have to die for the fif ty more.

(F6)All

(G6)night he wants the young A mer i can.

Young A mer i can, young A mer i can, he wants the young A mer i can.

(F6)All

(G6)right, he wants the young A mer i can.

Do you re mem ber

your Pres i dent Nix on?

Do you re mem ber the (Fmaj7)bills you have to pay, or e ven (E)yes ter day?

You ain’t a pimp, and you ain’t a hus tler.

(Em7)Pimps got a Cad i and a la dy’s got a Chrys ler.

(G)Blacks got re spect and white got his soul train.

(A)Ma ma’s got cramps, and look at your hands, hey.

(I heard the news to day, oh (Em7)boy.) I got a suite and you got de feat.

(G)Ain’t there a man who can say no more?

And ain’t there a wom an I can sock on the jaw?

And ain’t there a child I can hold with out judg ing?

Ain’t there a pen that will write be fore they die?

Ain’t you proud that you still got fac es?

(A)Ain’t there one damn song that can make me break down and cry?

(G6)All

(A6)night I want the young A mer i can.

Young A mer i can, young A mer i can, I want the young A mer i can.

(G6)All

(A6)right.

Young A mer i can, young A mer i can, I want the young A mer i can.

(G6)All

(A6)right.
