Great American Dream

(album: Ready For The World - 1977)

Poor white boy
Poor white boy
Poor white boy

His great American dream
Is to move on ton of weed

Poor white boy
Poor white boy
Poor white boy

Left pocket full of dope
Right pocket full of hope

Poor white boy
Poor white boy
Poor white boy

Thinking of becoming a millionaire
Wants to move more than his share

Poor white boy
Poor white boy
Poor white boy

Headed for Miami port
Didn't get a chance to spend his worth
Leavenworth

Now he's still right there in jail
Poor boy can't get no bail

Poor white boy
Poor white boy
Poor white boy

Mom and dad they're looking sad
Sis ain't got no time to be glad

Poor white boy
Poor white boy
Poor white boy

Dreams all gone it's the same old song
Poor boy wondering what went wrong

Poor white boy..
