American Dreamer Lyrics by Gene Clark

The American Dreamer [soundtrack]

0

Think of all the things that money can buy
A ranch in the mountains and a pleasure for your eye
Then maybe think of things that a dollar bill won't bring
Like someone to hold you close and a song for you to sing
And then think of all the years that it takes to be a fool
Like the lessons you learn in a lifetime, like your lifetime was a school
And then think of all the things that don't turn out what they seem
Like the love you thought you owned in the American dream
The American dreamer, sometimes a thinker, sometimes a schemer
Sometimes a child, sometimes a wise man
A lonely soul, a great extremer
