 Intro - A-D - A - D - E - A

(verse 1)
[A]I grew [E]up under n[D]ormal cond[A]itions,
Mom was the r[E]adio, D[D]ad was the tel[E]evision,
[A] They both were [E]doin the b[D]est that they c[E]ould,
Workin [A]50 hour a w[E]eeks and kn[D]ockin on wo[A]od,
 
 (Break - A-D - A - D - E - A)

(verse 2)
[A]I did my ti[E]me in the pub[D]lic school sys[A]tem,
I got good g[E]rades, and ne[D]ver got a sh[E]red of wisdom,
[A] Can't blame my te[E]achers, for any[D]thing they d[E]id,
You c[A]an't teach one on [E]one with [D]33 k[A]ids,
(chorus)
And it's o[A]ohh - o[E]ohh I'm d[D]oin al[A]right,
I work every d[E]ay to get to Sa[D]turday N[A]ight,
And it's o[A]ohh - o[E]ohh I' guess I'm [D]doin [A]ok,
Livin and D[E]yin the Amer[D]ican w[A]ay,
(verse 3)
well I found the one, we put some rooms down,
Got a second mortgage on the outskirts of town,
Now we BBQ every Fourth of July,
Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky,
(chorus)
And it's o[A]ohh - o[E]ohh I'm d[D]oin al[A]right,
I work every d[E]ay to get to Sa[D]turday N[A]ight,
And it's o[A]ohh - o[E]ohh I' guess I'm [D]doin [A]ok,
Livin and L[E]ovin the Ame[D]rican [A]way,
 
 (lead - D - A - D - A - D - A - E)

(bridge)
[F#m]These days we're thinkin about k[E]ids of our own,
[D] Gonna turn this house i[E]nto a home,
[A]In no time at all they'll be sin[E]gin along,
(chorus)
o[A]ohh - o[E]ohh I'm d[D]oin al[A]right,
I work every d[E]ay to get to Sa[D]turday N[A]ight,
And it's o[A]ohh - o[E]ohh I' guess I'm [D]doin [A]ok,
Livin and L[E]ovin the Ame[D]rican [A]way,
(chorus)
And it's o[A]ohh - o[E]ohh I'm d[D]oin al[A]right,
I work every d[E]ay to get to Sa[D]turday N[A]ight,
And it's o[A]ohh - o[E]ohh I' guess I'm [D]doin [A]ok,
Livin and D[E]yin the Amer[D]ican w[A]ay,
Livin and L[E]ovin the Ame[D]rican [A]way,
