Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Lyrics

"American Dream Plan B"

I'm gon' make my way through this world someday
I don't care what nobody say
American dream, political scheme
I'm gon' find out for myself someday
But I'm half-lit, I can't dance for shit
But I see what I want, I go after it
And my girl's alright, treats me nice
Sayin' nothin', but a woman puts out that light

I got a dream, I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream, I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right

Oh well, my baby no doubt dreams further out
Makin' moves to get us away someday
Well, my honey don't trip, shoots from the hip
Tell me everything gon' be OK

I got a dream, I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream, I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right

Well, my mama's so sad, daddy's just mad
'Cause I ain't gon' have the chance he had
My success is anybody's guess
But like a fool, I'm bettin' on happiness

I got a dream, I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream, I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
Got a dream, I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream, I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right
