Lyrics:

I had a face so cute, it made a young girl cry
And I could blow 'em away with just a wink of my eye
I got all dolled up on a Saturday night
I can't find a lady so I'll start a fight
Hey, but ain't that the American dream?

Well, after school the young boys would assemble
Down in the parking lot
And we spoke of the homecoming queen
And all the goodies she's got
Well, those stories could choke a semi
And every dare was do or die
Hey, but ain't that the American dream? (Unh)

Well, I grew up believin' I could do what I wanted to do
When I got a little older I found out it just wasn't true
Well, there's gotta be a place for me
Where I can be what I wanna be
Hey, but ain't that the American dream? (Unh)

Now, some of the girls are out to teaching high school biology
And all of my boyfriends they work down at Cummins factory
But me, I'm still out on the streets
Trying to locate some destiny
Hey, but ain't that the American dream?
