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 missin' 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 dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa I'm American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa I'm American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa 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 workin' on the way it could've been Tryna tow a tightrope line, find a way to feel half fine Without drownin' in this wine and callin' you again I've been American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa I'm American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa I'm American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa But I never seem to get no rest Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh I'm losin' 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 drinkin' from the bottom shelf But my old wheels keep spinnin' and I cannot make them stop I've been American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa I'm American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa I'm American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa But I never seem to get no rest So I'll get back home and try to be Someone that's somethin' like me But I've forgotten all my angels out here in the wind Sittin' out here with my mind, I meditate to pass the time But there's somethin' inside settin' sail all over again Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh I've been American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa I'm American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa I'm just American dreamin', oh-ooh-whoa But I never seem to get no rest Oh, I'm American dreamin' (oh-oh-oh), oh-ooh-whoa I'm American dreamin' (oh-oh-oh), oh-ooh-whoa I'm American dreamin' (oh-oh-oh), oh-ooh-whoa But I never seem to get no rest
