| American Dream I’ve got two dollars in my pocket To buy my last meal of the day It was cold and raining outside It was almost the first of May And I was feeling in a bind ‘cause I was running out of time It felt as though I was slipping away It was just a dream anyway I need a job to pay the rent And the money I’ve already spent I’m walking on a hair-thin line To make it mine and I take more chances every day Thinking I’ll make it to the top some way It’s the longest road I’ve ever seen It’s the longest dream that I’ve ever dreamed I read all the books that I can To help me with my plan To make a living, playing guitar and To get me out of this smoky bar I feel like I’m in the lost and found Looking for something to turn me around I don’t know what I’m going to find but I’ll keep searching ‘til the end of time I need a job to pay the rent And the money I’ve already spent I’m walking on a hair-thin line To make it mine and I take more chances every day Thinking I’ll make it to the top some day It’s the longest road I’ve ever seen It’s called the American Dream Bass – Nick Calandro |
