Brooks American Dreamer song lyrics

I know a woman

Her husband died and he left her with two little children

So she went back to school and she got a degree in business

Yeah, now she owns one

And she taught those kids you can do anything

With the heart of a true believer

Yeah, she? s an American dreamer

And I? ve got a woman

And she waits for me with the light on? cause she knows I? m coming

And she talks about babies and building a house in the country

Yeah, where it? s sunny

And she? s got faith that can do anything

But she? ll never know how much I need her

Yeah, she? s an American Dreamer

Back in the sixties, well, Haggard? s in prison

He? s thinking about writing a tune

And a guy named Armstrong was crazy enough

To think he could walk on the moon

And a preacher named King, well, he had a dream

He believed we could all live as one

And a soldier somewhere is praying for peace

While he? s cleaning his gun

American dreamers

And I had a father

He said, son, if something ain? t real then you don? t even bother

And he wasn? t a saint but I? d swear the man walked on water

Yeah, and he taught me

I ain? t just a long-legged hell-raising

Son of a pipelining, honky-tonk singer

Yeah, I? m an American dreamer

I? m an American dreamer

I? m an American dreamer

I? m an American dreamer
