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 oh ohI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohBut I never seem to get no restI should get some rest today, then pack my bags, be on my wayBut my mind's always working on 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 oh ohI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohBut I never seem to get no restI'm losing touch with all my friendsThat want to remind me who I amIf I could just get back home to pick up where we left offI'd take better care of myselfI'd stop drinking from the bottom shelfBut my old wheels keep spinning and I cannot make them stopI've been American dreaming, oh oh ohI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohBut I never seem to get no restSo I'll get back home and try to beSomeone that's something like meBut I've forgotten all my angels out here in the windSitting out with my mind, I meditate to pass the timeBut there's something inside sitting sane all over againI've been American dreaming, oh oh ohI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohI'm just American dreaming, oh oh ohBut I never seem to get no restI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohI'm American dreaming, oh oh ohBut I never seem to get no rest
