American Dreamer Lyrics

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

I? m an American dreamer
I? m an American dreamer
