Sold American |
| Faded jaded fallen cowboy star |
| Pawn shops itching for your old guitar |
| Where you’ve gone, it ain’t nobody knows |
| The sequins have fallen from your clothes |
| Once you heard the Opry crowd applaud |
| Now you’re hanging out at 4th and Broad |
| On the rain wet sidewalk, remembering the time |
| When coffee with a friend was still a dime |
| Everything’s been sold American |
| The early times are finished and the want ads are all read |
| Everyone’s been sold American |
| Been dreaming dreams in a rollaway bed |
| Writing down your memoirs on some window in the frost |
| Roulette eyes reflecting another morning lost |
| Hauled in by the metro for killing time and pain |
| With a singing brakeman screaming through your veins |
| You told me you were born so much higher than life |
| I saw the faded pictures of your children and your wife |
| Now they’re fumbling through your wallet &they're trying to find your name |
| It’s almost like they raised the price of fame |
