American Dream

(Intro)
You're my American dream, back forty beauty queen
(Verse 1)
Sunset bleedin' on the cornfields, radio hummin' low
Dusty Ford pullin' up, watchin' that sugar cane grow
You standin' there in the doorway, silhouette in the light
Like somethin' pulled straight from heaven, shinin' ever so bright
(Verse 2)
Remember dancin' down by the river, banjo pickin' in the breeze
Your hair fallin' down like whiskey, knockin' me to my knees
Said you were leavin' this small town, chasin' a bigger scene
But the way you held my gaze then, felt like a whole damn dream

(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, it's like the Fourth of July when I look in your eyes
Firecrackers poppin' off, paintin' the summer night skies
(Chorus)
You're my American dream, back forty beauty queen
Red lips, white lies, drunk on those blue eyes
Red lips, white lies, drunk on those blue eyes
Light my way back home before the summer's gone
(Verse 3)
Maybe those white lies you whisper are just a little sin
If they get me closer to you, I'll let 'em pull me right in
This small town got a hold on me, just like you got a hold on my heart
Prayin' you ain't just passin' through, tearin' me worlds apart

(Pre-Chorus)
Red, white, and blue, like those blue jeans tight on your hips
Girl, I'm chasin' after you, like a bottle I just gotta sip
(Chorus)
You're my American dream, back forty beauty queen
Red lips, white lies, drunk on those blue eyes
Red lips, white lies, drunk on those blue eyes
Light my way back home before the summer's gone

(Outro)
