American Dream

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin' and thought I was fine
Walked in the kitchen a quarter to nine
Poured me some coffee, read me some news
When I looked up all hell broke loose

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a hole in the roof
It's coming right through
The water's all gone cold
Heater's makin' noise again
And the bread's all growin' mold

[Chorus]
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
I'm lookin' up at you
You're lookin' down on me
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream

[Verse 2]
I hate to let my old lady down
This time I took her out on the town
If I had my way, I'd give her the world
Lord only knows how I love that girl

[Pre-Chorus]
But the yard needs mowin'
Bills need payin'
Phone's ringing off the line
I got me a list of "Honey Do's"
And I just can't find the time

[Chorus]
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
I'm lookin' up at you
You're lookin' down on me
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
I'm lookin' up at you
You're lookin' down on me
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream

[Outro]
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream
