Niko Moon American Dreamin' Lyrics

[Chorus]
American dreamin'
Made for more than getting by, knew that I was meant to fly
Through the struggle, Lord, I never stopped believing
Kept on pushing, kept the faith, knew that I'd see better days
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Layin' in that trailer, starin' holes in the ceiling
American dreamin'

[Verse 1]
Daddy drove a truck workin' them double shifts
Momma waited tables, grindin' for them tips
Askin' out that girl in class, Goodwill head to toe
Didn't know that I was broke till she let me know
Praying, praying
For a sign that things will change, change
Had to bend to keep from breaking, breaking
Told myself that I was never gonna stop, from the bottom to the top

[Chorus]
American dreamin'
Made for more than getting by, knew that I was meant to fly
Through the struggle, Lord, I never stopped believing
Kept on pushing, kept the faith, knew that I'd see better days
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Layin' in that trailer, starin' holes in the ceiling
American dreamin'

[Verse 2]
Dropped outta college, started playin' in them college bars
Singing them cover songs for free beer and a cover charge Made my way to Music City in my whip
Wrote a song about a good time and it became a hit

[Chorus]
American dreamin'
Made for more than getting by, knew that I was meant to fly
Through the struggle, Lord, I never stopped believing
Kept on pushing, kept the faith, knew that I'd see better days
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Layin' in my bedroom, starin' holes in the ceiling
American dreamin'

[Bridge]
Praying, praying
For a sign that things will change, change
Had to bend to keep from breaking, breaking
Told myself that I was never gonna stop, from the bottom to the top

[Chorus]
American dreamin'
Made for more than getting by, knew that I was meant to fly
Through the struggle, Lord, I never stopped believing
Kept on pushing, kept the faith, knew that I'd see better days
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Layin' in my tour bus, starin' holes in the ceiling
American dreamin'

[Outro]
Oh, I was American dreamin'
You know I was American dreamin'
Every step, I kept American dreamin'
To this day, I'm still American dreamin'
American dreamin', American dreamin'
Oh, I'm an American dreamin'
