Artist/Band: Lucinda Williams
Lyrics for Song: American Dream
Lyrics for Album: Live @ The Fillmore [2005]



Last time I saw you, you had dirt under your nails



Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale



You said my life has become a livin' hell



Ain't got enough money to pay my bills



Everything is wrong



Everything is wrong



Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm



He got hooked on heroin in Vietnam



It used to help kill the pain some of the time



Now I can't sleep at all since I got back home



Everything is wrong



Everything is wrong



I worked in the strip mines off and on



Now I can't seem to get rid of this cough



Ain't been many jobs these last few months



And the last one I had I got laid off



Everything is wrong



Everything is wrong



I ain't got no hot water and they shut off the heat



Can you loan me some money for something to eat



Been out here on this corner for about a week



Tryin' hard to stand on my own two feet



Everything is wrong



Everything is wrong



They want to try and tell me where I can live



They kicked me off my land and told me they'd give me



A nice little tract house with running water



But how am I gonna explain that to my Navaho mother



Everything is wrong



Everything is wrong



My American dream almost came true



But the things they promised me never came through



I believe in the American dream



But things are never quite what they seem



Everything is wrong



Everything is wrong



Everything is wrong



Everything is wrong
