It was born on the streets of the city
And carried by the wind
To destinations in all directions
Wherever people work and play and live
It's breaking through the airwaves
Like the sunlight at the crack of dawn
Going to lift your spirits
Back up where they belong
It's the American sound
The American sound
It's got a rockin' soul
A rhythm that rolls
It's the American sound
The American sound
It's got a rockin' soul
A rhythm that rolls
It's the American sound
It's chic without being trendy
It's cool even when it's hot
It's all the genres that came before it
And its everything they're not
It's breaking through the airwaves
Like the sunlight at the crack of dawn
Going to lift your spirits
Back up where they belong
It's the American sound
The American sound
It's got a rockin' soul
A rhythm that rolls
It's the American sound
The American sound
It's got a rockin' soul
A rhythm that rolls
It's the American sound
It's the American sound
The American sound
It's got a rockin' soul
A rhythm that rolls
It's the American sound
The American sound
It's got a rockin' soul
A rhythm that rolls
It's the American sound
The American sound
The American sound
The American sound
The American sound
The American sound
The American sound
