Marty Robbins - The American Dream

Marty Robbins

The American Dream

Well the sun's settin' on the veranda
As the ceilin' fan stirs the air
I pour me another a-what I've been drinkin'
Sit back in my wicker chair
She's still in that big house in Houston
Where we tried to find happiness
Somehow I know she would not understand it
If she could see me like this

There's no lawn to mow 'cause the grass dosen't grow
People get high every day
It's a little bit hotter ya can't drink the water
A dollar still goes a long way
Tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat
And peace of mind is free
Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
I found the American dream

We thought we'd found it in Houston
With the house and the cars and the pool
Sometimes people own things, sometimes things own you
I won't even bother to write her
She'd hate it down here anyhow
She can have all the things we had together
I won't be needin' them now

There's no lawn to mow 'cause the grass dosen't grow
People get high every day
It's a little bit hotter ya can't drink the water
A dollar still goes a long way
Tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat
And peace of mind is free
Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
I found the American dream
Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
I found the American dream

Mirror lyrics:

I found the American dream
Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
I found the American dream
Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
And peace of mind is free
Tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat
A dollar still goes a long way
It's a little bit hotter ya can't drink the water
People get high every day
There's no lawn to mow 'cause the grass dosen't grow

I won't be needin' them now
She can have all the things we had together
She'd hate it down here anyhow
I won't even bother to write her
Sometimes people own things, sometimes things own you
With the house and the cars and the pool
We thought we'd found it in Houston

I found the American dream
Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
And peace of mind is free
Tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat
A dollar still goes a long way
It's a little bit hotter ya can't drink the water
People get high every day
There's no lawn to mow 'cause the grass dosen't grow

If she could see me like this
Somehow I know she would not understand it
Where we tried to find happiness
She's still in that big house in Houston
Sit back in my wicker chair
I pour me another a-what I've been drinkin'
As the ceilin' fan stirs the air
Well the sun's settin' on the veranda
