American Dream

Woke up this morning and thought I was fine

Walked in the kitchen a quarter to nine

Poured me some coffee and 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 mold

Songbird singing in that old oak tree

I’m looking up at you, you’re looking down on me

I 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 mowed, bills need paid, phone’s ringing off the line

I got me a list of honey dos 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

I 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

I 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
