	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song with Zhenya Kolykhanov, lead guitarist for the Russian surf-rock band RED ELVISES. American Dream will always be one of my favorite songs because the story it tells is true, and we poured our hearts and souls into telling it right. American Dream is a story of finding love when you least expect it, and holding onto it against all odds. Sometimes love alone can set you free. Lyrics AMERICAN DREAM I won’t forget the day I met you honey You left your number in my coffee cup I never met another guy so funny You took me driving in your pick-up truck The sun was shining when we hit Chicago We rolled the windows down to feel the wind You bought me flowers at the Texaco I swear to God I loved you then I said I… Hold on to the American dream Keep waking up without The things that I need, baby But here and now with you I’m finally free You know we’re good together, please Baby, please My mother cried when we moved in together We found a place above the local pub The ceiling leaked When there was rainy weather The floorboards creaked When we were making love But it was ours And that was all that mattered We didn’t really need a bedroom door And when the wind blew And the whole house clattered We danced around the kitchen floor You said I… Hold on to the American dream Keep waking up Without the things that I need, baby And you’re the only thing on earth That sets me free It’s not much to ask for baby, please There’s an old dirt road that we can take That runs along the interstate We could still make Iowa by nine And we’ll start ourselves a brand-new life Oh honey, say you’ll be my wife Can’t afford a ring but we’ll be fine… Together Called in sick and went to church in Sunday Too many questions racing through my mind Haven’t seen you now since late last Monday Your boss has got you working overtime Heaven knows that we could use the money The doctor says we’re gonna have a son If you work doubles for the next year honey We can just afford this one You know we… Hold on to the American dream Keep waking up Without the things that we need, baby But this love’s the best thing that we got And that came free Maybe we’re just too hard to please ‘Cause that old dirt road we used to take Still runs along the interstate We could still leave Iowa and drive But the car hasn’t been running well We’d have to stay at cheap motels We don’t need that now to feel alive I won’t forget the day I met you honey You left your number in my coffee cup I never met another guy so funny And I guess that I would call that love
