American Dreaming

Wake up again in an old motel, is it somewhere different? I can't tell

Every set of curtains opens to the open road

And I'm missing you like hell, this van is like a prison cell

And I know you have gone with her, and I can't go back home

I've been American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

But I never seem to get no rest

I should get some rest today, then pack my bags, be on my way

But my mind's always working on the way it could have been

Tryna to tow a tight rope line, find a way to feel half fine

Without drowning in this wine and calling you again

I've been American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

But I never seem to get no rest

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm losing touch with all my friends, the ones who remind me who I am

If I could just get back home to pick up where we left off

I'd take better care of myself, I'd stop drinking from the bottom shelf

But my old wheels keep spinning, and I cannot make them stop

I've been American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

But I never seem to get no rest

So I'll get back home and try to be someone that's something like me

But I've forgotten all my angels out here in the wind

Sitting out here with my mind, I meditate to pass the time

But there's something inside setting sail all over again

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I've been American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm just American dreaming, oh, oh

But I never seem to get no rest

Oh, I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

I'm American dreaming, oh, oh

But I never seem to get no rest
