American Dreamer

Think of all the things that money can buy A ranch in the mountains and a pleasure for your eye A home you can call your own Then maybe think of all the things that a dollar bill won't bring Like someone to hold you close and a song for you to sing And then think of all the years that it takes to be a fool Like the lessons you learn in a lifetime like your lifetime was a school And then think of all the things that don't turn out what they seem Like the love you thought you owned in the American dream The American dreamer sometimes a thinker sometimes a schemer Sometimes a child sometimes a wise man A lonely sole a great extremer But none the less the American Dreamer
