Brooks & Dunn

I know a woman
Her husband died and he left her with two little children
So she went back to school and she got a degree in business
Yeah, now she owns one
And she taught those kids you can do anything
With the heart of a true believer
Yeah, sheââ?¬â?¢s an American dreamer

And Iââ?¬â?¢ve got a woman
And she waits for me with the light on ââ?¬Ë?cause she knows Iââ?¬â?¢m coming
And she talks about babies and building a house in the country
Yeah, where itââ?¬â?¢s sunny
And sheââ?¬â?¢s got faith that can do anything
But sheââ?¬â?¢ll never know how much I need her
Yeah, sheââ?¬â?¢s an American Dreamer

Back in the sixties, well Haggardââ?¬â?¢s in prison
Heââ?¬â?¢s thinking about writing a tune
And a guy named Armstrong was crazy enough
To think he could walk on the moon
And a preacher named King, well he had a dream
He believed we could all live as one

And a soldier somewhere is praying for peace
While heââ?¬â?¢s cleaning his gun
American dreamers

And I had a father; he said son if something ainââ?¬â?¢t real
Then you donââ?¬â?¢t even bother
And he wasnââ?¬â?¢t a saint
But, Iââ?¬â?¢d swear the man walked on water
Yeah and he taught me
I ainââ?¬â?¢t just a long-legged hell-raising
Son of a pipelining, honky-tonk singer
Yeah, Iââ?¬â?¢m an American dreamer
Iââ?¬â?¢m an American dreamer
