marty robbins - the american dream lyrics
well the sun’s settin’ on the veranda
as the ceilin’ fan stirs the air
i pour me another a-what i’ve been drinkin’
sit back in my wicker chair
she’s still in that big house in houston
where we tried to find happiness
somehow i know she would not understand it
if she could see me like this
there’s no lawn to mow ’cause the gr-ss dosen’t grow
people get high every day
it’s a little bit hotter ya can’t drink the water
a dollar still goes a long way
tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat
and peace of mind is free
yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
i found the american dream
we thought we’d found it in houston
with the house and the cars and the pool
sometimes people own things, sometimes things own you
i won’t even bother to write her
she’d hate it down here anyhow
she can have all the things we had together
i won’t be needin’ them now
there’s no lawn to mow ’cause the gr-ss dosen’t grow
people get high every day
it’s a little bit hotter ya can’t drink the water
a dollar still goes a long way
tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat
and peace of mind is free
yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
i found the american dream
yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
i found the american dream
