Lyrics

I recall In my hometown I was 23
I knew everybody there and they all knew me
then all my friends moved to the city
all except me
they said why live there when you can come and share
in this american dream
chours
So I got myself an 80 hour job and a master card
If I find I'm low on cash
I can just say charge
pulling all this overtime buddy that's tough
If this is that American Dream somebody wake me up

You can have this real good job
come and take it please
that BMW is yours in space 103
cause where I'm going that kind of car
would sure get stuck
I'll take a big tall chevy 4x pickup truck

So I got myself an 80 hour job and a master card
If I find I'm low on cash
I can just say charge
pulling all this overtime buddy that's tough
If this is that American Dream somebody wake me up


I don't need your 80 hour job or your mastercard
If I find I'm low on cash I can live with the way things are
pulling all this overtime well I've had enough
I've been a living this american dream but I just woke up
I've been a living this american dream but I just woke up
