Young American Heart – Benson Boone

Young American Heart Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember we were only sixteen at the time
We stole your daddy’s car the day you learned to drive
You nearly killed us both a half mile down the road
Yeah, we were upside down and moving in slow motion

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re just floating
So wild and free
And it all made sense to me (Ha)

[Chorus]
If I’m gonna die a young American
And this was the final night we’d ever have again
I’d be just fine as long as I’m wherever you are
‘Causе you stole my young, American heart

[Verse 2]
Wеll, it’s been a long two years since you have left the country
And now, you and I, we’re living in some crazy times
And I get so scared we’ll never make it through our twenties
And we’ll lose it all for nothing, nothing

[Chorus]
If I’m gonna die a young American
And this was the final night we’d ever have again
I’d be just fine as long as I’m wherever you are
‘Cause you stole my young, American heart

[Bridge]
My young, American heart, my young, American heart
You stole my, you stole my American heart
(We were free-falling) My young, American heart, my young, American heart, you stole my, you stole my American heart
(We were free) My young, American heart, my young, American heart, you stole my, you stole my American heart

[Chorus]
If I’m gonna die a young American
And this was the final night we’d ever have again
I’d be just fine as long as I’m wherever you are
‘Cause you stole my young, American heart

[Outro]
My young, American heart
My young, American heart
My young, American—
‘Cause you stole my young, American heart
