The American Dream

Hank Williams Jr. · The Complete Hank Williams Jr. [1999]

Too many lawyers in football

Baseballs gotta few

The pitcher got a million dollars

And the quarterback he got 2

Pitcher threw his arm away

And the quarterback burned his knee

And this they did so they could live the American dream



Now there are some preachers on TV

with a suit and a tie and a vest

They want you to send your money to the lord

But they give you their address

Cause all of your donations are completely tax free

God bless you all but most of all send your money



Do you really want it?

Do you really need it?

Ya gotta keep on grindin' just to try to keep it

Ya got no time for yourself ya got more ba roe Jim Beam

Your goin' crazy dreamin'

The American dream



Reagan is a cuttin' the budget makin' the democrats scream

Says we gotta control inflation

Quit spendin' our money on everything

But this year's tax increase why is the biggest in history

Round and around we go where we stop who knows

The American dream



Do you really want it?

Do you really need it?

Ya gotta keep on grindin' just to try to keep it

We got no time for ourselves ya got more ba roe Jim Beam

Your goin' crazy dreamin'

The American dream

Your goin' crazy dreamin'

The American dream

Hail to the chief

He he hell yes

He he he
