Better Than Ezra - American Dream lyrics
She was a midwestern prom queen Got her boyfriend headed out West They ended up in the valley In a one room apartment A disconnected phone Yeah Now five years later she's single She's got two kids and a note And if she gets a moment to herself She can remember how everything used To go her way She says Where did the time go When everything was simple and free? I want to know what happened Somebody woke me before I could Have my American Dream For twenty years he worked corporate He planned to early retire His CEO he stole a billion dollars Now he's working at Denny's Hoping for a raise He thinks Where did the time go When everything was simple and free? I want to know what happened Somebody woke me before I could Have my American Dream Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm a little bit rebel I'm a bit patriot I can see they're both sides of the coin But still it gets a bit rough Everything is screwed up I guess it­s just the American way Sometimes I wonder how you are You're up in New York City with a family I think I could have been your guy It's just a moment in time that is slipping on away Where did the time go When everything was simple and free? I want to know what happened Somebody woke me before I could have My American Dream My American Dream Yeah, yeah, yeah She was a midwestern prom queen Got her boyfriend headed out West |
