Wake up again in an old motel Is it somewhere different? I can't tellEvery set of curtains opens to the open roadAnd I'm missing you like hell This van is like a prison cellAnd I know you have gone with her And I can't go back homeI've been American Dreaming Oh, I'm American DreamingOh, I'm American DreamingBut I never seem to get no rest I should get some rest todayThen pack my bags, be on my way But my mind's always workingOn the way it could have beenTrying to tow a tight rope line Find a way to feel half fineWithout drowning in this wine Calling you againI've been American Dreaming Oh, I'm American DreamingOh, I'm American DreamingBut I never seem to get no restOh, I'm American DreamingI'm losing touch with all my friends The ones who remind me who I amIf I could just get back home To pick up where we left offI'd take better care of myself I'd stop drinking from the bottom shelfMy old wheels keep spinning And I cannot make them stopI've been American Dreaming Oh, I'm American DreamingOh, I'm American DreamingBut I never seem to get no restSo I'll get back home and try to be Someone that's something like meBut I've forgotten all my angels Out here in the windSitting out with my mind I meditated to pass the timeBut there's something inside Sitting saying all over againI've been American Dreaming Oh, I'm American DreamingOh, I'm just American DreamingBut I never seem to get no restOh, I'm American DreamingOh, I'm American DreamingOh, I'm American DreamingBut I never seem to get no rest
