john mellencamp - american dream lyrics

Loading...

written by john mellencamp

i had a face so cute made a young girl cry
and i could blow ’em away with just a wink of my eye
i got all dolled up on a sat-rday night
can’t find a lady so i’ll start a fight
hey but ain’t that the american dream

but at school the young boys would -ssemble down in the parking lot
and we spoke of the homecoming queen and all the goodies she’s got
well those stories would choke a semi
and every dare was do or die
hey but ain’t that the american dream

(bridge)

well i grew up believin’ i could do what i wanted to do
when i got a little older i found that it just wasn’t true
there’s gotta be a place for me
where i can out-be just what i want to be
hey but ain’t that the american dream

some of the girls are out teaching high school biology
and all of my boyfriends they work down at c-mmmins factory
but me i’m still out on the streets trying to locate some destiny
hey but ain’t that the american dream

(repeat bridge)
