American Dream

I’ve got a nice house with a beautiful yard
No cracks in the drive beneath a shiny new car
I’ve got a good dog who fetches my shoes
Gotta guitar that sings me the blues
It’s the perfect life, or so it would seem
But I’m a woman away from the American Dream

I’ve got a good job there’s food on the grill
The roof it never leaks you know I’m paying my bills
I’ve got my health and my happiness too
I’m building some wealth and living life true
It’s the perfect life, or so it would seem
But I’m a woman away from the American Dream

I’ve got the best friends you know they call to say hi
I’ve got a nice view of a perfect blue sky
I tend to laugh much more than I cry
I’m on the right path you know I’m one lucky guy
It’s the perfect life, or so it would seem
But I’m a woman away from the American Dream

American Dream is a mysterious thing
Everything’s good, my mood seldom swings
You think that I’d be happy, that I’d be content
My heart it isn’t broken, it’s not even bent
It’s the perfect life, or so it would seem
But I’m the perfect wife from the American Dream

It’s the perfect life, or so it would seem
But I’m a woman away from the American Dream
