American Dream |
I lit the fire, poured out the bottle |
Asked the moonlight what it might have seen |
If we danced, I can’t remember |
I fell down into the American Dream |
Been too long in the Devil’s workshop |
So I’m driving the backbone to change the scenery |
Here come the horses through purgatory |
They fell down into the American Dream |
Summer time sunshine, shine on me |
Show me where I’m going |
I’ll find an old friend in El Dorado |
Like Harry Dean Stanton on a drive-in screen |
A tumbleweed blowing through Paris, Texas |
He fell down into the American Dream |
Sun-bleached dresses wavin' from a clothesline |
Come Saturday evening, they’ll have a place to be |
I’ll pick some flowers to take to her Mama |
I fell down into the American Dream |
Summer time sunshine, shine on me |
Won’t you show me where I’m goin'? |
Leaving San Francisco for New Orleans |
I can hear that rooster crowin' |
Spit and polish the ancient story |
Love and glory, gold and greed |
Nothing changes, even if it wants to |
We go down into the American Dream |
We go down, baby |
On down to New Orleans |
Down, baby |
Only finding what it means |
