American Dream Lyrics
[Chorus]
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream
[Verse 1]
Lover don't you come down
Without a sword or a gun
Well the gold and the silver
You’re searching is hidden
Out there underground
But there's a beast on the clock
Guarding against the folk
And the ghost from the river is watching
She won't let you get any close
[Chorus]
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream
[Verse 2]
Lover don’t make a sound
Bring your rifle around
When I say hallelujah
It's your cue to shoot at
The head of the hound
Now take just what you need baby
Anymore won't fit your bag
Go as fast as your feet they will carry
For the greater chase has began
[Chorus]
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream
[Verse 3]
There's no catching a breath
There's no rest till you are dead
There's no heaven or hell
There's no running away

It sailed on steady for many miles, at one point going under a broken bridge above which a deer lay breastfeeding...
What inspired it?
I suppose it could have been a lot of things, maybe prior to the storm there was a man on the ship who wrote it while contemplating about something profound, something about the universe perhaps.. who are we? where are we? why are we? but then he couldn’t find any pleasing answers so he went and san...
What was the process of making the song like?
I went and grabbed my guitar and put these texts in a melody. It sounded something like a western song at first, something you would hear in one of those pictures with horses running around, and four adults shooting each other over a lady that couldn’t care less about any of them. But then i wrote a...
