John Michael Howell - American Dream Lyrics

John Michael Howell Lyrics

"American Dream"

Starbucks, Krispy Kreme
Mouth full of sugar, head full of dreams
Nice girl, how'd they meet?
High school party that he threw last week
His Dad has a law degree
Future looking bright and promising
As his spot on the football team
John and everything his little teenage dream

Gonna grow up
Try a couple things
Independent office, age of 23
It's the American Dream
Get up, get dressed, work hard, and repeat
Raise a family
Get a little money
Buy a couple things
It's the American Dream
Get up, get dressed, work hard, and repeat
Get up, get dressed, work hard, and repeat

White lies, petty things
Grass wasn't greener than he'd thought it be
Missed opportunities
You wash it down with a couple drinks
Oh my, woe is me
Maybe what I wanted isn't what I need
You get back his feet
John and everything his little fantasy

Grow up
Try a couple things
Independent office, age of 23
It's the American Dream
Get up, get dressed, work hard, and repeat
Raise a family
Get into some trouble
Learn a couple things
It's the American Dream
Get up, get dressed, work hard, and repeat
Get up, get dressed, work hard, and repeat
Get up, get dressed, work hard, and repeat
Get up, get dressed, work hard, and repeat
