Lucinda Williams - American Dream lyrics
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 |
