american dreamer

Randy Houser

There s a little white church with a clapboard sign
Says, Jesus could save you if you could come inside
There s a bar on the square where we d all like to go
Where the only neon on says closed
There s a little pink house just over the hill
A kitchen full of kids and a table full of bills
There s a man in his chair
says, They closed down the mill
But he s drinkin like the devil and prayin like hell

He says, I m an American dreamer
I m proud of who I am
I break my back, I bust my ass
I work with these two hands
Just like my father s father
I d die for my son to be
An American dreamer
Just like me

Somewhere out there, there s a boy and a girl
Stuck on the other side of the world
Dreamin about the land of the free
Oh, but someday, they ll be just like me

Cause I m an American dreamer
I m proud of who I am
I break my back, I bust my ass
I fight with these two hands
Just like my father s father
I d die for my son to be
An American dreamer
Just like me

Yeah, just like me
Oh
Yeah, just like me
Yeah

There s a little white church with a clapboard sign
Says, Jesus could save you if you could come inside
