The Henningsens‘ “American Beautiful” was their first hit together as a father-daughter-son trio. After a strong guitar introduction, the song begins with Clara Henningsen’s confident voice. She sings about uniqueness and creating your own path in the Land of the Free, showing us that it’s okay to be who we want to be. The song is relatable and actually reflects the family’s own journey into the music business.

“American Beautiful” Lyrics
She puts her boots and bandanna on
She has a hankering for Rolling Stones
She likes her vegetables home grown
A lot like the boy waiting out in the truck
She’ll take a hill like Roosevelt
Holds up her pants with a Bible belt
She cracks ’em up like a liberty bell
A whole lot of tender and a little bit tough
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
She’s a little unusual
Ooh, ooh, ooh
She’s American beautiful
Well, he is a mutt with a pedigree
Sinatra junkie in a pair of jeans
He pays his dues in the Land of the Free
Say, why walk
Baby, we were born to run
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
He’s a little unusual
Ooh, ooh, ooh
He’s American beautiful
I saw that girl in a mirror once
With a boy like that in a cloud of dust
I think they look a lot like us
Cause we are, we are, we are
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We are a little unusual
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We are American beautiful
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We are a little unusual
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We are American, American, American beautiful
