American Dream Lyrics

I was born and raised

In an All-American home

Where the value of a man

Was on the things he owned

I struggled hard all my life

Just barely scrapping bye

And the American Dream…

Is passing me by

The American Dream…

Is passing me by

You can’t call the way I live

A way of life

The American Dream

Is passing me by

I wake up in the dead of night

and break down and cry

Took to drinking by myself

At a corner bar

Don’t ask me, ‘cuz I don’t know

Just how I got this far

I cut everybody out

Of my lonely life

And the American Dream… I

Is passing me bye

The American Dream…

Is passing me by

You can’t call the way I live

A way of life

The American Dream

Is passing me by

I wake up in the dead of night

and break down and cry

The American Dream…

Is passing me by

You can’t call the way I live

A way of life

The American Dream

Is passing me by

I wake up in the dead of night

and break down and cry
