American Beauty - Drew Holcomb

If you don’t know Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors’ music, I’d highly recommend them. This is one of theirs called “American Beauty.” It’s about that first young love, the one you think is gonna be forever. I read an interview with Drew where he talks about the song… “The idea formulated around the thought that everyone has that someone who got away. You know, the love that never really happened but that you thought was a sure thing. It’s like a black and white photograph, looking at that summer from years ago. It’s something that pop culture has sort of whacked off as summer love and not important.” Thanks for listening. She was a good companion, eyes like the Grand Canyon She was an American beauty She was a long goodbye, she was the best alibi She was an American beauty With her Wayfarers on in the summer sun Her touch felt like a loaded gun Wish I had held her longer Wish I had held her longer
