American Dream

I get up at 4 A.M. Pour a cup of coffee, feed the dogs Head on down a dark highway Same traffic lights out to the middle of nowhere That's where I go 12 hours of hard work Lonely are the days, minutes pass on by Thinkin' bout when I get home Long list of things we gotta do to keep us going strong If my boots ain't dirty We ain't making money If my hands are clean We don't eat I got two little babies and a wife that I don't see I get tired of living the American Dream I get home I'm tired I'm worn Walking through the front door, that's when I feel more Their little arms around my legs A kiss from my bride lets me know that it will be okay If my boots ain't dirty We ain't making money If my hands are clean We don't eat I got two little babies and a wife that I don't see I get tired of living the American Dream The little one's about to walk Hope to God that he don't take his first steps when I'm gone Wonder if they're missing me Is this the way that life is gonna be, gonna be If my boots ain't dirty We ain't making money If my hands are clean We don't eat I got two little babies and a wife that I don't see I get tired of living the American Dream Out of love I'm living the American Dream
