The American Dream
I keep trying, I'd be lying
'Cause I'm holding onto the memory
I keep crying, slowly dying
I keep on running but I can't break free
Summer nights keep playing in my mind
Baby, baby
So give me back that wasted time
With the top down and the radio on
We were dancin' in the streets
Simple times and crossin' lines
We were wild and we were free
Finding the answers in black and white
We were young and we believed
So take my hand on the boulevard
'Cause we're looking for the American dream
Dream, dream, dream
Pull me close, don't let go
Let's find our way back to the innocence
And I know you're not alone
When things go fast yeah we'll take it slow
Summer nights keep playing in my mind
Baby, baby
So give me back that wasted time
With the top down and the radio on
We were dancin' in the streets
Simple times and crossin' lines
We were wild and we were free
Finding the answers in black and white
We were young and we believed
So take my hand on the boulevard
'Cause we're looking for the American dream
Dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream
With the top down and the radio on
We were dancin' in the streets
Simple times and crossin' lines
We were wild and we were free
Finding the answers in black and white
We were young and we believed
So take my hand on the boulevard
'Cause we're looking for the American dream
Baby, baby
The American dream
Dream, dream, dream
'Cause I'm holding onto the memory
I keep crying, slowly dying
I keep on running but I can't break free
Summer nights keep playing in my mind
Baby, baby
So give me back that wasted time
With the top down and the radio on
We were dancin' in the streets
Simple times and crossin' lines
We were wild and we were free
Finding the answers in black and white
We were young and we believed
So take my hand on the boulevard
'Cause we're looking for the American dream
Dream, dream, dream
Pull me close, don't let go
Let's find our way back to the innocence
And I know you're not alone
When things go fast yeah we'll take it slow
Summer nights keep playing in my mind
Baby, baby
So give me back that wasted time
With the top down and the radio on
We were dancin' in the streets
Simple times and crossin' lines
We were wild and we were free
Finding the answers in black and white
We were young and we believed
So take my hand on the boulevard
'Cause we're looking for the American dream
Dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream
With the top down and the radio on
We were dancin' in the streets
Simple times and crossin' lines
We were wild and we were free
Finding the answers in black and white
We were young and we believed
So take my hand on the boulevard
'Cause we're looking for the American dream
Baby, baby
The American dream
Dream, dream, dream
