American Dream

[Verse 1] I had a face so cute, it made a young girl cry And I could blow 'em away with just a wink of my eye I got all dolled up on a Saturday night I can't find a lady so I'll start a fight Hey, but ain't that the American dream? [Verse 2] Well, after school the young boys would assemble Down in the parking lot And we spoke of the homecoming queen And all the goodies she's got Well, those stories could choke a semi And every dare was do or die Hey, but ain't that the American dream? (Unh) [Bridge] Well, I grew up believin' I could do what I wanted to do When I got a little older I found out it just wasn't true Well, there's gotta be a place for me Where I can be what I wanna be Hey, but ain't that the American dream? (Unh) [Verse 3] Now, some of the girls are out to teaching high school biology And all of my boyfriends they work down at Cummins factory But me, I'm still out on the streets Trying to locate some destiny Hey, but ain't that the American dream?
