American Miracle She's got such pretty eyes for a woman her size Most of the men 'round town have known her She's used to the lies of these logging town guys But she won't let those dumb yahoos own her No she's her own, her own very own She won't take loans from her child's no-good father She's been bothering the tavern since she was half-grown And she drank all the drinks the stinking men bought her Then she lead'em home like calves to the slaughter She's a bad drunk She's a good time girl She has an illegitimate child So she'll be sticking 'round town for a while She is America The bartender said she clocked a cop in the head Broken bottle shards and Bud Light on blue She woke up in bed with a lifetime of cred And an arrest warrant posted on her bedpost And she'll be damned if that goddamn man Can push her around with his filthy pig hands There was nothing gained and no one complained When the creep was found slain from too much oxycontin We later found out it was stuff she had bought him She's a bad drunk She's a good time girl She has an illegitimate child So she'll be sticking 'round town for a while She is America She has scars on her wrists, a broken pool cue in her fist She told me to love her and I could not resist She won't have the gold standard wrapped around her finger But if I bring her smokes and gifts she'll add me to her list She wears a cross she doesn't believe and ribbons when she grieves This land is her land, she won't ever leave And it's a damn shame when the neighbors complain 'Cause she'll never change into what they'd prefer But as the years go by they become more like her She's a bad drunk She's a good time girl She has an illegitimate child So she'll be sticking 'round town for a while She is America She is a miracle
