My Own American Dream Lyrics by Jeremy Steding

My Own American Dream

0

Oh Lord, what I got to show?
For all those slow shows, downtown, downtown
I know, some say I ought to grow
Up and get a real job, downtown, downtown
But I got songs stuck in my soul
And I’ll dry rot if I don’t roll
So its 35 North, 20 due West
21 days on too little rest
Too many red lights, Waiting on green
High on hope and low on gasoline
My own American dream
I’ve tried and I’ve tried
Determined and denied
Knocked down four times
I stood up five
I got a good heart
Nerves’ steel
Tell me that I won’t and I’ll show you that I sure will
To be strong is to believe
My own American dream
I got songs stuck in my soul
And I’ve been blessed and I’ve been bold
And I got a pretty little girl
And she believes in me
I got the sun and the rain and the right to freedom
And a cold beer and some good friends
When my hands are tied, they’ve got a hand to lend
I got all a man could need. (Living)
My own American dream
