American Dream

Johnny was born in the heartland. Raised in a little farm house. He Worked the land with his two hands Didn't wanna let his daddy down Taught to beat the Bible Dated the homecoming queen After Graduation and two pink lines He was chasing that American Dream The one that we all believe in We all wanna be free But a 30 year loan and overtime Weeks Keep us chasing that American Dream Annie is a real good mother Stays at home with the kids. With johnny gone all day long She wonders if this is it Month lasts longer than money Johnny's coming apart at the seams By The looks of it's all it' funny That We call this the American Dream (Chorus) We thank the ones who sacrifice It's the ultimate price they paid But It's hard to enjoy that freedom When Uncle Sams got you slaving away (HEY)
