my american dream

America

Author unknown (sung by Dan Peek)
Found on Heard.

I always thought that I wanted a long, new, shiny Cadillac
That a real man wears five hundred dollar suits upon his back
I always thought that I needed a big, old house with a million dollar view
But baby, since we fell in love, all I needed is you

Waking up (waking up) to my American dream
She s a long haired, blue eyed, country girl
She s better than a fantasy
Waking up (waking up) to my American dream
And I would not trade the whole wide world
For what she means to me

She s pretty as the moonlight on the gulf of Mexico
And her heart is pure and true as any California gold
I put her on a pedastel like Lady Liberty
Know there is no finer girl from sea to shining sea

I m waking up (waking up) to my American dream
She s a long haired, blue eyed, country girl
She s better than a fantasy
Waking up (waking up) to my American dream
And I would not trade the whole wide world
For what she means to me

Waking up (waking up) to my American dream
She s a real live, blue eyed, country girl
The best thing I ve ever seen
And I would not trade the whole wide world
For what she means to me
I m waking up (waking up) to my American dream
I m waking up (I m waking up) to my American dream
