2
I had a face so cute made a young girl cry
3
And I could blow 'em away with just a wink of my eye
4
I got all dolled up on a Saturday night
5
Can't find a lady so I'll start a fight
6
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
7
But at School the young boys would assemble down in the parking lot
8
And we spoke of the homecoming queen and all the goodies she's got
9
Well those stories would choke a semi
10
And every dare was do or die
11
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
12
(bridge)
13
Well I grew up believin' I could do what I wanted to do
14
When I got a little older I found that it just wasn't true
15
There's gotta be a place for me
16
Where I can out-be just what I want to be
17
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
18
Some of the girls are out teaching high school biology
19
And all of my boyfriends they work down at Cummmins factory
20
But me I'm still out on the streets trying to locate some destiny
21
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
22
(repeat bridge)
