The American dream by Paul Wilfert

Verse 1

I bought a house, many years ago

We were comfy there, why’d that payment grow

Couldn’t pay it no more, had to let it go

Had a pickup truck, I was the gu

y Went to buy some gas, why’d it get so high

Now I drive a small car, kind’ a makes me cry

Chorus

I just want to have a chance

Oh, one good shot, without circumstance

To live the dream, the American Dream

Verse 2

Had a good job, I worked every day

Then the plant closed, why’d they sent the work away

What I found, is the new job don’t pay

Put some money, in a savings plan

Then the stocks dropped, why’d it all hit the fan

Where’d the money go, help me if you can?

Chorus

Verse 3

All I know, is my dad would say

If you work real hard, you’ll be ok

What went wrong, have we lost our way?

I don’t know just how you feel,

but I sure could use a better deal

To help us all, to live the American Dream.

Chorus 2x

End

Come on and let me live, The American Dream
