The American Dreamer

Think of all the things that money can buy Like a ranch in the mountains or a pleasure for your eye Then think of all the things that a dollar bill won't bring Like someone to hold you close and a song for you to sing Then think of all the years that it takes to be a fool Like the lessons you learn in a lifetime like your lifetime was a school And then think of all the things that don't turn out what they seem Like the love that you thought you owned in the American dream The American dreamer sometimes a thinker sometimes a schemer Sometimes a child sometimes a wise man A lonely sole, great extremer But none the less the American Dreamer --- The American Dreamer - Gene Clark
