The Gaslight Anthem - National Anthem Lyrics

I never will forget you my American love
And I'll always remember you, wild as they come
And though if I saw you I'd pretend not to know
The place where you were in my heart is now closed
I already live with too many ghosts

And everybody, lately, is living up in space
Flying through transmissions on invisible airwaves
With everything discovered just waiting to be known
What's left for God to teach from His throne?
And who will forgive us when He's gone?

So take what you need now, honey
And do what you like
Don't worry about me, Mama, I'm all right.
And I can't stand the weather, no, I never liked the rain
We drink on the job, then we go home early
And I remember she used to look so good in that dress
Now she just screams how I promised her more than this
Take it easy baby, it ain't over yet

So take what you need now, honey
And do what you like
Don't worry about me, Mama, I'm all right
And if there's something you need...
And if there's something you find...
Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever gets you through the night
I never will forget you my American Love
And I'll always remember you wild as they do come
