Testo American Dream - Will Hoge
Testo della canzone American Dream (Will Hoge), tratta dall'album Number Seven (Deluxe)
It used to be a one horse town
But the pony went away
Ended up in China
Cause they make it cheaper there, they say
The storefronts all are empty
And the factory is dead
And these streets I used to walk on
Well now they're just my bed
And I'm going down, down, down
I'm going down
Did a couple years of college
But I just couldn't make it stick
Had to come back here and help mama
Cause daddy left when she got sick
She worked everyday for nothing
Until she turned sixty-two
And on the same day that I buried her
The bank foreclosed on her house too
It's my American dream
And I've been all that I can be
With nothing left to lose at all, I guess I'm free
It's my American dream, dream, dream
It's my American dream
Now I stand here at this off-ramp
And smile as best I can
With a sign that says Jesus Loves You
But it's hard to think he gives a damn
When they roll down their windows
And put some spare change in my hand
But I'd give it all right back
To just be looked at like a man
And I'm going down, down, down
I'm going down
When it's cold I try the mission
On nights like this I sleep outside
Under a bridge beside the interstate
Where I can hear those trucks roll by
And imagine I'm inside one
Just rolling down the road
But I wake up just to realize
That this place is now my home
It's my American dream
And I've been all that I can be
With nothing left to lose at all, I guess I'm free
It's my American dream
That disappeared in front of me
With nothing left to lose at all, I guess I'm free
It's my American dream, dream, dream
