The American Dream

well I was there in memphis
 the day after Elvis died
 but I never went to graceland
 cause I didn't want to miss my ride
 I've been down in Louisiana
 spent a night in New Orleans
 but I never did sleep well enough
 to dream the american dream
 I flew into New York city
 another face in the crowd
 they took me in a limousine
 to an office up above the clouds
 they said 1 and 1 is three
 nothin's as it seems
 well I didn't sleep at all that night
 so I missed the american dream
 I drove thru the freezin winter
 thru the middle of the great heartland
 spent my nights in truckstops
 my days with the country fans
 rollin off at daybreak
 sleepin in my jeans
 well I don't think dreamin of home
 is the american dream
 HEY.HEY.HEY
 well I've been down to Hollywood
 well I've been to L.A.
 when people shook my hand
 well they were lookin the other way
 well everyone was dreamin
 everyone but me
 but I'm sorry
 but I don't believe
 the american dream
 the american dream
 the american dream
 HEY!
 HEY! HEY! GET OUTTA MY WAY!
 I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE USA!
 HEY! HEY! GET OUTTA MY WAY!
 I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE USA!
 HEY! HEY! GET OUTTA MY WAY!
 I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE USA!
