AMERICAN ICON

As recorded by Hayden Blount

(2026 release)

Intro

[Em] [G] [D] [Em] [G] [D]

Verse 1

[Em] [G] [D]

I'm tearing up the 40 like I'm racing Daytona

[Em] [G] [D]

Open road before me, plenty room to throw some dust up

[Em] [G] [D]

Hell, I might as well paint a 3 on my Tacoma

[Em] [G] [D] [Em] [G] [D]

Raising hell, praising Dale, and I got no plans to slow up

Verse 2

[Em] [G] [D]

Got a girl in Tennessee wants me to come get her

[Em] [G] [D]

She tastes real sweet when I slow kiss her

[Em] [G] [D]

I tell her that I need you like I'm Lynyrd Skynyrd

[Em] [G] [D]

But I'm a free bird, so I'm leaving for the winter

Chorus

[C] [G]

'Cause there's places to be, cigarettes to burn

[D] [Em]

People to meet, and dollar bills to earn

[C] [G]

Banquets to drink, a lover to kiss

[D] [Em]

But you don't get a thing unless you bleed for this

[G] [D] [Em]

So, I'm gonna bleed till there's a hill I can die on

[G] [D] [Em] [G] [D] [Em] [G] [D]

'Cause I wanna be an American Icon

Verse 3

[Em] [G] [D]

Five states, two days, Burt Reynolds bandit

[Em] [G] [D]

Two hours of sleep, can't believe I'm still standing

[Em] [G] [D]

Wish I's headed west 'cause I miss my family

[Em] [G] [D]

But I'm eastbound and down, always stuck in transit

Chorus

[C] [G]

'Cause there's places to be, cigarettes to burn

[D] [Em]

People to meet, and dollar bills to earn

[C] [G]

Banquets to drink, a lover to kiss

[D] [Em]

But you don't get a thing unless you bleed for this

[G] [D] [Em]

So, I'm gonna bleed till there's a hill I can die on

[G] [D] [Em] [G]

'Cause I wanna be an American Icon

[D] [Em] [G] [D]
