Cheers from a high school football game
on an American Friday night
Chorus of the pledge of allegiance
As the red ones rewind the fight

Crowd roars
and the quarterback scores
Losing side gets quiet
You can almost hear the high beat
of an American Friday night

Hey yeah
the girls look pretty
man, they're good to go
boys try to shine like stars on the city
music on the radio
There ain't no place in the whole wide world
that can feel so right
Yeah yeah, an American Friday night

Good old boys
laughin', back slappin
on the other side of town
And they only leave behind a couple beauties besides
there ain't no worries now
They all rock ZZ top
as they make their rounds

Yeah that's how good it sounds
that's how good it sounds

Hey yeah
the girls look pretty
man, they're good to go
boys try to shine like stars on the city
music on the radio
There ain't no place in the whole wide world
that can feel so right
Yeah yeah, an American Friday night
Yeah yeah An American Friday night!

You wanna go to the movies
stay home and order dominoes
flip a coin and we'll choose
we can't loose

Hey yeah girl you look pretty
Girl I'm good to go
we're gonna shine like stars in the city
songs on the radio
there ain't no place in the world that can feel this right
yeah yeah an American Friday night
Oh yeah, yes an American Friday night
Oh yeah, an American Friday night
