American Dream

(앨범: The Education Of A Wandering Man - 2016)

Woke up this morning and thought I was fine
Walked in the kitchen a quarter to nine
Poured me some coffee
Read me some news
When I looked up all hell broke loose

There's a hole in the roof, it's coming right through
The water's all gone cold
Heater's making noise again and the bread's all growing mould

Songbird singing in that old oak tree
I'm looking up at you, you're looking down on me
Promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm living the American dream
I'm living the American dream

I hate to let my old lady down
It's time I took her out on the town
If I had my way I'd give her the world
Lord only knows how I love that girl

But the yard needs mowing, bills need paying
Phone's ringing off the line
I got me a list of honey dues
And I just can't find the time

Songbird singing in that old oak tree
I'm looking up at you, you're looking down on me
Promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm living the American dream
I'm living the American dream

Songbird singing in that old oak tree
I'm looking up at you, you're looking down on me
Promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm living the American dream
I'm living the American dream
I'm living the American dream
I'm living the American dream
