The American Dreamer

Think of all the things that money can buy
A ranch in the mountains and a pleasure for your eye
Then maybe think of things that a dollar bill won't bring
Like someone to hold you close and a song for you to sing

And then think of all the years that it takes to be a fool
Like the lessons you learn in a lifetime like your lifetime was a school
And then think of things that don't turn out what they seem
Like the love you thought you owned in the American dream

The American dreamer sometimes a thinker, sometimes a schemer
Sometimes a child, sometimes a wise man
A lonely sole, great extremer
But none the less the American Dreamer
