Lyrics

AMERICAN DREAM


Ron Boustead
Matt Ender


She had eyes like lightening
Hair the color of the August sun
We never lost a moment
We both were havin' too much fun
I remember Friday nights
Runnin' through the town
Dancin' hard and kissin' soft
Now she's nowhere to be found

CHORUS: Has anybody seen my American Dream
I left her standin' over there by the jukebox
We were seventeen
And if you should see my American Dream
Send her on home again to me

All those bright tomorrows
The life they promised, gone without a trace
I fell asleep in heaven
And woke up in a different place
The world that I imagined then
Is nothing like this town
All my friends are moving' on
'Cause there's no work to be found

CHORUS: Has anybody seen my American Dream
I can't remember where I lost it
And I don't know what it means
But if you should see my American Dream
Send it on home again
Send it on home again to me
