John Mellencamp – American Dream Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: Chestnut Street Incident

I had a face so cute 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
Can^,t find a lady so I^,ll start a fight
Hey but ain^,t that the American Dream

But at 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 would choke a semi
And every dare was do or die
Hey but ain^,t that the American Dream

[Bridge:]
Well I grew up believin^, I could do what I wanted to do
[ American Dream lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/john-mellencamp/american-dream/ ]
When I got a little older I found that it just wasn^,t true
There^,s gotta be a place for me
Where I can out-be just what I want to be
Hey but ain^,t that the American Dream

Some of the girls are out teaching high school biology
And all of my boyfriends they work down at Cummmins factory
But me I^,m still out on the streets trying to locate some destiny
Hey but ain^,t that the American Dream

[Bridge]
