The American Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was born in Coastal Maine
Then moved away South of L.A.
San Diego knows my name
(Yo what’s up Zach?)
But now I live in cars and planes
These long drives, long flights
I wouldn’t trade for anything
Everybody wanna piece Americana (U.S.A.)
But she don’t come so easily
All the kids are gonna do what they wanna
Uh oh
And when we get older we can sing
Oh! We all around the world living the American Dream, yeah
Oh! We all around the world living the American Dream, yeah
Almost died in Carolina
Crashed the van and caught on fire (Ahhh!)
If you’ve been down and out throw up your lighters
We're a little older, little brighter
Time goes by, time flies
Don’t you wait for anything
Everybody wanna piece Americana (U.S.A.)
But she don’t come so easily
All the kids are gonna do what they wanna
Uh oh
And when we get older we can sing
Oh! We all around the world living the American Dream, yeah
Oh! We all around the world living the American Dream, yeah
Rap:
Most of my friends get college loans
Sending them my love from the road
Got souvenirs from 50 states
Little magnets that say my name
Am I famous? Eh.. not quite
But shameless
You got that right
A toast to your wife
Toast to your life
Toast to the night
Start it off right
Ooooh OOOh whooaaa
We all around the world living the American Dream, yeah
Ooooh OOOh whooaaa
We all around the world living the American Dream, yeah
Everybody wanna piece Americana (U.S.A.)
But she don’t come so easily
All the kids are gonna do what they wanna
Uh oh
And when we get older we can sing
Ooooh OOOh whooaaa
We all around the world living the American Dream, yeah
Ooooh OOOh whooaaa
We all around the world living the American Dream, yeah
