American Dream
A small town in Missouri
I was drifting through
Stopping off for coffee
And some donuts too
She steps out from the counter
With a million dollar smile
And legs so long
I was breathless for a while
The days were long but the nights were even longer
I was young, she made me younger still
And I swear to God I never, ever wronged her
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
It's not like I was looking
She caught me unawares
But once we'd traded glances
I was left without a prayer
She walks out from the diner
And takes me by the hand
Her place though small
Became my promised land
The days were long but the nights were even longer
I was young, she made me younger still
And I swear to God I never, ever wronged her
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
I stayed there for the summer
I began to call her place my own
Then come the Fall it all turned sour
She cut me, she cut me to the bone
The days were long but the nights were even longer
I was young, she made me younger still
And I swear to God I never, ever wronged her
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
The days were long but the nights were even longer
I was young, she made me younger still
And I swear to God I never, ever wronged her
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
I was drifting through
Stopping off for coffee
And some donuts too
She steps out from the counter
With a million dollar smile
And legs so long
I was breathless for a while
The days were long but the nights were even longer
I was young, she made me younger still
And I swear to God I never, ever wronged her
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
It's not like I was looking
She caught me unawares
But once we'd traded glances
I was left without a prayer
She walks out from the diner
And takes me by the hand
Her place though small
Became my promised land
The days were long but the nights were even longer
I was young, she made me younger still
And I swear to God I never, ever wronged her
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
I stayed there for the summer
I began to call her place my own
Then come the Fall it all turned sour
She cut me, she cut me to the bone
The days were long but the nights were even longer
I was young, she made me younger still
And I swear to God I never, ever wronged her
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
The days were long but the nights were even longer
I was young, she made me younger still
And I swear to God I never, ever wronged her
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
She's a Southern queen, she's my American dream
