American Dream
Lyricist:Lucinda Williams
Last time I saw you, you had dirt under your nails Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale You said, 'My life has become a livin' hell Ain't got enough money to pay my bills'
Everything is wrong Everything is wrong
Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm He got hooked on heroin in Vietnam It used to help kill the pain some of the time Now I can't sleep at all since I got back home
Everything is wrong Everything is wrong
I worked in the strip mines off and on Now I can't seem to get rid of this cough Ain't been many jobs these last few months And the last one I had, I got laid off
Everything is wrong Everything is wrong
I ain't got no hot water and they shut off the heat Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Can you loan me some money for something to eat? Been out here on this corner for about a week Tryin' hard to stand on my own two feet
Everything is wrong Everything is wrong
They want to try and tell me where I can live They kicked me off my land and told me they'd give me A nice little tract house with running water But how am I gonna explain that to my Navaho mother
Everything is wrong Everything is wrong
My American dream almost came true But the things they promised me never came through I believe in the American dream But things are never quite what they seem
Everything is wrong Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong Everything is wrong
