Jamestown Revival – American Dream lyrics

Woke up this mornin'
And thought I was fine
Walked in the kitchen
A quarter to nine
Poured me some coffee
Read me some news
When I looked up
All hell broke loose
There's a hole in the roof
It's coming right through
The water's all gone cold
Heater's makin' noise again
And the bread's all growin' mold
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
I'm lookin' up at you
You're lookin' down on me
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream
I hate to let my old lady down
This time I took her out on the town
If I had my way, I'd give her the world
Lord only knows how I love that girl
But the yard needs mowin'
Bills need payin'
Phone's ringing off the line
I got me a list of "Honey do's"
I just can't find the time
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
I'm lookin' up at you
You're lookin' down on me
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream
(music)
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
I'm lookin' up at you
You're lookin' down on me
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream
