[Intro]
(hey!) yeah yeah
Sweet and salty, what you see?
This ain’t what you think it be
[Verse 1]
Fried rice dancing in a pan tonight
Ketchup shining like a neon light
Hot dog dreams and chicken on the side
Little bit strange but I feel alright
Raisins falling like a summer rain
Sweet surprise in every grain
You say “American?” I just smile
Been my style for a long, long while
[Pre-Chorus]
You think you know where I belong
But baby, you been wrong
[Chorus]
I’m American, but not from your land
Made in Thailand, do you understand?
Sweet like love with a salty twist
Take one bite, you can’t resist
Call me something I’m not supposed to be
But this is my identity
American, in my own way
Different flavor, let me stay
[Verse 2]
Cowboy boots but I dance Thai style
Sticky rice groove make you stay a while
From Bangkok streets to your hometown
Mix it up, don’t break it down
You got burgers, I got this
Colorful plate you can’t dismiss
Not the same but that’s the fun
Two worlds dancing into one
[Pre-Chorus]
You think it’s wrong, I think it’s right
Taste the truth in every bite
[Chorus]
I’m American, but not from your land
Made in Thailand, do you understand?
Sweet like love with a salty twist
Take one bite, you can’t resist
Call me something I’m not supposed to be
But this is my identity
American, in my own way
Different flavor, let me stay
[Bridge]
(whispered) not the same, but I don’t care
(bigger) I got my own kinda flair
From the streets to a global stage
Mixing hearts across the page
[Crescendo]
[Chorus]
I’m American, but not from your land
Made in Thailand, do you understand?
Sweet like love with a salty twist
Take one bite, you can’t resist
Call me something I’m not supposed to be
But this is my identity
American, in my own way
Different flavor, let me stay
[Outro]
(hey!) yeah yeah
Different flavor, that’s my way
(yeah!) let it play
