Hoge, Will - American Dream Lyrics
This used to be a one horse town
But the pony went away
Ended up in China ‘cause
They make it cheaper there they say
And the factory is dead
And these streets I used to walk on
Well now they’re just my bed
And I’m going down, down, down
I’m going down
Did a couple years of college
But I just couldn’t make it stick
Had to come back here and help mamma
She worked very day for nothing
Until she turned 62
And the same day that I buried her
The bank foreclosed on her house too
That’s my American dream
And I’ve been all that I can be
With nothing left to lose at all
I guess I’m free
That’s my American dream, dream, dream
That’s my American dream
Now I stand here at this off ramp
And smile as best I can
With a sign that says Jesus loves you
But it’s hard to think he gives a damn
When they roll down their windows
And put some spare change in my hand
But I’d give it all right back
To just be looked at like a man
And I’m going down, down, down
I’m going down
When it’s cold I try the mission
On nights like this I sleep outside
Under a bridge beside the interstate
Where I can hear those trucks roll by
And imagine I’m inside one
Just rolling down the road
But I wake up just to realise
That this place is now my home
That’s my American dream
And I’ve been all that I can be
With nothing left to lose at all
I guess I’m free
That’s my American dream
It disappeared in front of me
With nothing left to lose at all
I guess I’m free
That’s my American dream, dream, dream
It’s my American dream
