American Dream

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up this mornin' and thought I was fine Walked in the kitchen a quarter to nine Poured me some coffee, read me some news When I looked up all hell broke loose [Pre-Chorus] There's a hole in the roof It's coming right through The water's all gone cold Heater's makin' noise again And the bread's all growin' mold [Chorus] Songbird singin' in that old oak tree I'm lookin' up at you You're lookin' down on me I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem I'm livin' the American Dream I'm livin' the American Dream [Verse 2] I hate to let my old lady down This time I took her out on the town If I had my way, I'd give her the world Lord only knows how I love that girl [Pre-Chorus] But the yard needs mowin' Bills need payin' Phone's ringing off the line I got me a list of "Honey Do's" And I just can't find the time [Chorus] Songbird singin' in that old oak tree I'm lookin' up at you You're lookin' down on me I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem I'm livin' the American Dream I'm livin' the American Dream [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Songbird singin' in that old oak tree I'm lookin' up at you You're lookin' down on me I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem I'm livin' the American Dream I'm livin' the American Dream [Outro] I'm livin' the American Dream I'm livin' the American Dream
