Lyrics

Everything in your shadow turns to vapor
You pierce my heart like it was paper
Radio’s cracklin’ with the headlines
Somethin on your shoulder, winds in the phone lines
American beauty will you be mine
On this highway counting white lines

Hot and bloody summer, driftin blue eyes
We’re in the high grass, I finger your hemline
Boot heels click clackin’, honey when you shine
Autumn green eyes, hair sweet as the pines
American beauty forever mine
Out on this highway countin’ white lines

Your hand cups your breast, pledging your time
Things we carried, shining skylines
Fallin’ sparrow, sky torn apart
Dark shining arrow, your kiss’ pierces my heart
American beauty forever mine
Out on this highway countin’ white lines
