Video American Dream de Larry Joe Taylor 2025 Lyrics Lyrics

Larry Joe Taylor - American Dream Lyrics

I got a brand new chevrolet out in the drive
I got a thirty year fixed rate mortgage that i live inside
I don?t think i like what i got
Cause i think it?s got me
I guess i just woke up from my american dream

I guess my wife she?ll work for the state for the rest of her life
When all she ever wanted to be was a mom and a wife
She tells me i don?t look like the guys in cosmopolitan magazine
I guess she just woke up from her american dream


Ain?t it funny
How the money
Don?t always cut the deal
Ain?t it strange
How we change
When we find what?s really real.

Johnny loved to teach the kids in the public school
Said it?s been a whole lot harder since they changed the rules.
Gunshots echo through the halls
Another one falls
The last bell rings
And it woke him up from his american dream

Randy was a small time high school football star
Becky got knocked up in the back seat of his car.
He?s got a baby that screams and a boss that?s mean
And a wife still in her teens
They?re all waking him up to his american dream

Chorus

Repeat 1st verse and end
