Brooks & Dunn - American Dreamer lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I know a woman<br>

Her husband died and he left her with two little children<br>

So she went back to school and she got a degree in business<br>

Yeah, now she owns one<br>

And she taught those kids you can do anything<br>

With the heart of a true believer<br>

Yeah, she's an American dreamer<br>

<br>

And I've got a woman<br>

And she waits for me with the light on 'cause she knows I'm coming<br>

And she talks about babies and building a house in the country<br>

Yeah, where it's sunny<br>

And she's got faith that can do anything<br>

But she'll never know how much I need her<br>

Yeah, she's an American Dreamer<br>

<br>

Back in the sixties, well Haggard's in prison<br>

He's thinking about writing a tune<br>

And a guy named Armstrong was crazy enough<br>

To think he could walk on the moon<br>

And a preacher named King, well he had a dream<br>

He believed we could all live as one<br>

<br>

And a soldier somewhere is praying for peace<br>

While he's cleaning his gun<br>

American dreamers<br>

<br>

And I had a father; he said son if something ain't real<br>

Then you don't even bother<br>

And he wasn't a saint<br>

But, I'd swear the man walked on water<br>

Yeah and he taught me<br>

I ain't just a long-legged hell-raising<br>

Son of a pipelining, honky-tonk singer<br>

Yeah, I'm an American dreamer<br>

I'm an American dreamer<br>

<BR><BR>
