Versuri
Tried my hand at dust bowl dance
But the weather had different plans
Ain’t no rain and the seed won’t sow
Nothing grows in the land of famine
Except the hunger that I feel inside
Packed it all up left the dust behind
So where’s my American dream
Seems like nobody saved a piece for me
Break my back for what I need
But all I do is bleed
So where’s my American dream
Can you find it for me
Headed west with the best intentions
Panned for gold by the riverside
But lady luck wasn’t digging me
Now my baby’s got sad eyes
She’s barefoot barely alive
Sleeping used to put my mind at ease
So where’s my American dream
Seems like nobody saved a piece for me
Break my back for what I need
But all I do is bleed
So where’s my American dream
Can you find it for me
Pickaxes swinging in my minds eye
Til a cough caught me by surprise
Black lung stole the breath from me
Another hole they’re digging waist high
For a box my wife can buy
And ill finally get some sleep
So where’s my American dream
Seems like nobody saved a piece for me
Break my back for what I need
But all I do is bleed
So where’s my American dream
Can you find it for me
Can you find it for me
