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?
