Will Hoge - My american dream

^FYou used to be a o^Cne horse town but the p^Fony went away,^{C F}Ended up in China ^C'cos they make it c^Amheaper there they sa^Gy, ^FNow the store fronts all are e^Cmpty and the ^Amfacto^Gry is de^Fad, And these ^Fstreets I used to w^Calk on, ^Amnow they're just my be^Gd

And I'm goin dow^Amn... d^Gown... do^Fwn I'm goin d^Cown

^FDid a couple years at co^Cllege but I just^F couldn't make it stick^C, ^FHad to come back here and help M^Cama 'cos Daddy l^Ameft when she got sic^Gk, ^FShe worked everyday for not^Chin' until s^Amhe turned s^Gixty t^Fwo, And on the s^Fame day that I b^Curied her the bank folk cl^Amosed on her house to^Go

^FIt's my American d^Cream and I've ^Gbeen all that I can ^Ambe, With n^Gothin' ^Fleft to lose at ^Call I guess I'm f^Gree, It's my American d^Amream... d^Gream... dre^Fam It's my American d^Cream

^FSo I stand here at this (N^Cot sure of word!) ^Fand smile as best I ca^Cn, With a s^Fign that says Jesus l^Coves you but it's ^Amhard to think he gives a dam^Gn ^FWhen they roll down their ^Cwindows and put some ^Amspare change ^Gin my ha^Fnd, But I^F'd give it all right b^Cack to just be l^Amooked at like a m^Gan,

And I'm goin do^Amwn... ^Gdown... d^Fown I'm goin d^Cown

^FWhen it's cold I try the m^Cission on night's like t^Fhis I sleep outsi^Cde, Under a ^Fbridge beside the i^Cnterstate where I can ^Amhear those trucks roll b^Gy, A^Fnd imagine I'm insi^Cde one, just ^Amrollin' d^Gown the roa^Fd, But I w^Fake up just to r^Cealise that this p^Amlace is now my h^Gome,

^FIt's my American d^Cream and I've ^Gbeen all that I can ^Ambe, With n^Gothin' ^Fleft to lose at ^Call I guess I'm f^Gree, ^F'Cos my American d^Cream disap^Gpeared in front of m^Ame, And with n^Gothin' ^Fleft to lose at ^Call I guess I'm f^Gree,

It's my American d^Amream... d^Gream... dre^Fam It's my American d^Cream...
