American Money

I was there when you fell from the clouds

And landed in the desert

There was a thunder inside of my heart

There was a wonderful pleasure

And like a stallion racin' the rain

You rode on the back of my bike

I knew from the song that you sang

You were my lover for life

Oh, there's no time to sleep

Oh, living in a dream

So take me to that paradise in your eyes

Green like American money

You taste just right

Sweet like Tennessee honey

And we can run away

Swimmin' in the sunlight every day

Oh, paradise in your eyes

Green like American money

So we took to the calico road

Running from the weather

There was a highway inside of her eyes

There was a buried treasure

And we got caught in the storm

You started flying a kite

At the end was the key to my heart

You were my lover for life

Oh, there's no time to sleep (There's no time to sleep)

Oh, living in a dream

So take me to that paradise in your eyes

Green like American money

You taste just right

Sweet like Tennessee honey

And we can run away

Swimmin' in the sunlight every day

Oh, paradise in your eyes

Green like American money

We carved our love in the mountainside

We soaked our hearts in the rain

And I, waited my whole life

For you

So take me to that paradise in your eyes

Green like American money

You taste just right

Sweet like Tennessee honey

And we can run away

Swimmin' in the sunlight every day

Oh, paradise in your eyes

Green like American money
