Brooks & Dunn – American Dreamer lyrics

"American Dreamer"

I know a woman
Her husband died and he left her with two little children
So she went back to school and she got a degree in business
Yeah, now she owns one
And she taught those kids you can do anything
With the heart of a true believer
Yeah, she's an American dreamer

And I've got a woman
And she waits for me with the light on 'cause she knows I'm coming,
And she talks about babies and building a house in the country,
Yeah, where it's sunny,
And she's got faith that can do anything,
But she'll never know how much I need her,
Yeah, she's an American Dreamer.

Back in the sixties, well Haggard's in prison,
He's thinking about writing a tune,
And a guy named Armstrong was crazy enough,
To think he could walk on the moon,
And a preacher named King, well he had a dream,
He believed we could all live as one.

And a soldier somewhere is praying for peace,
While he's cleaning his gun,
American dreamers.

And I had a father; he said son if something ain't real,
Then you don't even bother,
And he wasn't a saint,
But, I'd swear the man walked on water,
Yeah and he taught me,
I ain't just a long-legged hell-raising,
Son of a pipelining, honky-tonk singer,
Yeah, I'm an American dreamer,

I'm an American dreamer X4
