Like a 49 Cadillac Coup de Ville,
Like Frank Sinatra or Buffalo Bill
Like a Pabst Blue Ribbon on a Polaroid picture
Or a kid floating down the Mississippi river
Ball park crowd can you hear it in the distance
Or the Chattanooga Choo Choo blowing it's whistle
It's one of a kind, They don't make em like that
You can go all around this world but you'll never
Find one shine like that
God didn't make two
That's why I'm telling you
It's an American original
Like some sort of miracle
An American original It's true hey hey it's true
Like Doris Day or color tv
Like my dad's old guitar with brand new strings
Like Joe Louis swinging ain't ever gonna stop me
Like a new suit shining on the Grand Ole Opry
Like an Alabama girl chasing her dreams
Or the torch at the top of miss liberty
It's one of a kind,
They don't make 'em like that,
You can go all around this world
But you'll never gonna find one shine like that
God didn't make two
That's why I'm telling you
It's an American original
Like some sort of miracle
An American original It's true
Hey hey it's true
It's one of a kind,
They don't make 'em like that,
You can go all around this world
But you'll never gonna find one shine like that
God didn't make two That's why I'm telling you
It's an American original
Like some sort of miracle
An American original It's true
Hey hey it's true Yeah it's true
