Lyrics for American Dream by Mellencamp John Cougar:
| | | Artist: | Mellencamp John Cougar |
| | Album: | Chestnut Street Incident | | Track: | American Dream | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 420 | | | | Lyrics: | Written by John Mellencamp
I had a face so cute 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
Can't
find a lady so I'll start a fight
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
But at
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 would choke a semi
And every dare
was do or die
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
(bridge)
Well I grew
up believin' I could do what I wanted to do
When I got a little older I found that it just
wasn't true
There's gotta be a place for me
Where I can out-be just what I want to
be
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
Some of the girls are out teaching high
school biology
And all of my boyfriends they work down at Cummmins factory
But me I'm
still out on the streets trying to locate some destiny
Hey but ain't that the American
Dream
