Wake up again in an old motel Is it somewhere different? I can't tell
Every set of curtains opens to the open road
And I'm missing you like hell This van is like a prison cell
And I know you have gone with her And I can't go back home
I've been American Dreaming Oh, I'm American Dreaming
Oh, I'm American Dreaming
But I never seem to get no rest I should get some rest today
Then pack my bags, be on my way But my mind's always working
On the way it could have been
Trying to tow a tight rope line Find a way to feel half fine
Without drowning in this wine Calling you again
I've been American Dreaming Oh, I'm American Dreaming
Oh, I'm American Dreaming
But I never seem to get no rest
Oh, I'm American Dreaming
I'm losing touch with all my friends The ones who remind me who I am
If I could just get back home To pick up where we left off
I'd take better care of myself I'd stop drinking from the bottom shelf
My old wheels keep spinning And I cannot make them stop
I've been American Dreaming Oh, I'm American Dreaming
Oh, I'm American Dreaming
But I never seem to get no rest
So I'll get back home and try to be Someone that's something like me
But I've forgotten all my angels Out here in the wind
Sitting out with my mind I meditated to pass the time
But there's something inside Sitting saying all over again
I've been American Dreaming Oh, I'm American Dreaming
Oh, I'm just American Dreaming
But I never seem to get no rest
Oh, I'm American Dreaming
Oh, I'm American Dreaming
Oh, I'm American Dreaming
But I never seem to get no rest
