AMERICAN DREAM

 

Words and Music by Mark Lawrence

Whoa American Dream

Lookin' like a Cadillac long tall shiny an clean

You know I never thought I'd make it this far

From a broken bottle and a broken heart

But I'm standin' on the edge of the world   with my American Dream

Well you never know how it's gonna feel when you hit that runaway

And you never know what you're gonna say if you're sent back home

And after all the directions the signpost only pointed one way

And I guess that's the price I pay for bein' alone

So I borrowed 47 dollars and I rode it into New York City

And I found a little stage that really didn't look that bad

When the smoke came up and the lights went out, I really didn't know what hit me

But I got back up and I gave it everything I had

Whoa American Dream

Lookin' like a Cadillac long tall shiny and clean

You know I never thought I'd make it this far

From a broken bottle and a broken heart

But I'm standin' on the edge of the world with my American Dream

Well I never knew just what I could do til I did it my way

And I'll never know what their gonna say when I get back home

And after miles and miles and miles and miles and miles on the highway

I keep payin' the dues cuz I'm makin' it on my own

Whoa American Dream

Lookin' like a Cadillac long tall shiny and clean

You know I never thought I'd make it this far

From a broken bottle and a broken heart

But I'm standin' on the edge of the world with my American Dream

Whoa American Dream

Lookin' like a Cadillac long tall shiny and clean

You know I never thought I'd make it this far

From a broken bottle and a broken heart

But I'm standin' on the edge of the world with my American Dream
