American To The Bone

I played baseball when I was a kid
Mickey Mantle was my main hero
When I played, I wore number 7
Loved to watch those Yankees go

I bought Elvis Presley when he hit big
To this day, he's the world's biggest star
I've been to Graceland in Memphis 3 times
Sing "All Shook Up" in karaoke bars

I'm AMERICAN TO THE BONE
The Grand Canyon, I've been there
Seen the Sequoias and Niagara Falls
Been to Las Vegas and Times Square
Done Hollywood and Miami Beach
Watched Old Faithful in Yellowstone
Rode up Pike's Peak in Colorado
I'm AMERICAN TO THE BONE

I served my country in an army uniform
They stationed me in Bamberg, Germany
I came home and kept on working
At Castle Heights Military Academy

I paid child support like a father should
My son and I are close to this day
There's so much we have in common
Truth, justice and the American way

I'm AMERICAN TO THE BONE
The Grand Canyon, I've been there
Seen the Sequoias and Niagara Falls
Been to Las Vegas and Times Square
Done Hollywood and Miami Beach
Watched Old Faithful in Yellowstone
Rode up Pike's Peak in Colorado
I'm AMERICAN TO THE BONE

It's the greatest country
In the history of the world

Solo
Chorus

This kind of doesn't rhyme...

Is it supposed to be a rock and roll song?

So what have we learned from Colyer about his life through song? He married, had a kid and his wife left him, his divorce lawyer a woman claimed he was stalking her and he has paid child support, hates the cops. I believe he also has an eye for young girls.

He just writes these new pretend-songs in response to what people say here. ghostlight said JCWS was estranged from his son the other day, so that's why he wrote in this song they are still close to this day.
