He's an anti-social smoker never could turn down a drink
Says he likes his women large cos' it gives him time to think
A natural politician he can even smell the truth
You know he's lived by his convictions
He don't waste no time on proof

He's every mother's dream
Star stripes and silver screen
Makes you wanna be
Everything that you can be
A great american hero
Now he likes the old familiar especially if it's new

Sometimes he gets a little sloppy but whatcha gonna do?
Yeah, he thought he got the wrong ones
Turns out he was mistaken! Huh!
Now, you might have your doubts
But his faith is never shaken

He's every mother's dream
Star stripes and silver screen
Makes you wanna be
Everything that you can be
A great american hero
Ohhww yeah. Watch it now!

Yeah he's got a lot of horses and he never taps the breaks
Been known to lose his focus, that's when he raises the stakes
Tell me can he can a witness, can he get an amen?
Now incomprehensible he's gonna do it again
Oww that's how you win

He's every mother's dream
Star stripes and silver screen
Makes you wanna be
Everything that you can be
A great american hero
G-g-g- great old hero!
He's a man with a plan that even
He don't understand, alright!
You're welcome, watch it now!
Oww yeah, now raise the flag!
