Lucinda Williams - American Dream Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Last time I saw you, you had dirt under your nails
  • Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale
  • You said my life has become a livin' hell
  • Ain't got enough money to pay my bills
  • Everything is wrong
  • Everything is wrong
  • Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm
  • He got hooked on heroin in Vietnam
  • It used to help kill the pain some of the time
  • Now I can't sleep at all since I got back home
  • I worked in the strip mines off and on
  • Now I can't seem to get rid of this cough
  • Ain't been many jobs these last few months
  • And the last one I had I got laid off
  • I ain't got no hot water and they shut off the heat
  • Can you loan me some money for something to eat
  • Been out here on this corner for about a week
  • Tryin hard to stand on my own two feet
  • They want to try and tell me where I can live
  • They kicked me off my land and told me they'd give me
  • A nice little tract house with running water
  • But how am I gonna explain that to my Navaho mother
  • My American dream almost came true
  • But the things they promised me never came through
  • I believe in the American dream
  • But things are never quite what they seem
  • Everything is wrong
  • Everything is wrong
  • Everything is wrong
  • Everything is wrong
