Cemetery kids on a midnight clear 
 Saying bloody mary in the bathroom mirror 
 Sneaking natty lights down the stairs of the basement 
 Ain't much to do, but the night's what you make it 
 Running down a dream on Stephen King & Kerouac 
 Children of the corn pink house pink Cadillac 
 It's not just any old patch of pitchfork dirt 
 Stop me if you've already heard 
    The one about 
 Mellencamp springsteen marijuana seventeen 
 White frost bean field bonfire kerosene 
 Red bic lighter in a blue jean pocket 
 Lost in the land of American gothic yeah   
 Watching days of our lives on a second hand couch 
 Nicotine soaked wood panels of the house 
 Sugar coated wonder bread tastes like candy 
 Black lipstick first kiss in a camry   
 Looks a little like 
 Looks a little like 
 Mellencamp springsteen marijuana seventeen 
 White frost bean field bonfire kerosene 
 Red bic lighter in a blue jean pocket 
 Lost in the land of American gothic yeah   
 Real life living 
 Real life living 
 Going with the grain 
 Where the colors ain't fading 
 Real life living in a real life painting   
 Looks a little like 
 Looks a little like 
 Mellencamp springsteen marijuana seventeen 
 White frost bean field bonfire kerosene 
 Red bic lighter in a blue jean pocket 
 Lost in the land of American gothic yeah   
 Mellencamp springsteen marijuana seventeen 
 No plans Sun tan laying on a trampoline 
 Red bic lighter in a blue jean pocket 
 Lost in the land of American gothic yeah   
 Real life living 
 Real life living 
 Real life living in a real life living 
 Real life living 
 Real life living 
 Real life living 
 Real life living in a real life living
