The Doobie Brothers - The American Dream Lyrics

The Doobie Brothers Lyrics

"The American Dream"

I keep trying
I'd be lying
Cuz I'm holding onto the memory
I keep crying
Slowly dying
I keep on running but I can't break free

Summer nights keep playing in my mind
Baby, baby
So give me back that wasted time...

With the top down and the radio on
We were dancin' in the streets
Simple times and crossin' lines
We were wild and we were free
Finding the answers in black and white
We were young and we believed
So take my hand on the boulevard
Cause we're looking for
The American dream
Dream, dream, dream

Pull me close
Don't let go
Let's find our way back to the innocence
And I know
You're not alone
When things go fast yeah we'll take it slow

Summer nights keep playing in my mind
Baby, baby
So give me back that wasted time...

With the top down and the radio on
We were dancin' in the streets
Simple times and crossin' lines
We were wild and we were free
Finding the answers in black and white
We were young and we believed
So take my hand on the boulevard
Cause we're looking for
The American dream
Dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream

With the top down and the radio on
We were dancin' in the streets
Simple times and crossin' lines
We were wild and we were free
Finding the answers in black and white
We were young and we believed
So take my hand on the boulevard
Cause we're looking for
The American dream
Baby, baby
The American dream
Dream, dream, dream
