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)
