American Dreamer
johnny's got a heavy job workin' in a grocery,
lifts 50 lb. boxes to the top row,
george's workin' sponges at a carwash,
hops hot cars down in soho.
if you wanna call this a comin' of age song
alright, alright, alright
danny boy says 'i'm an american dreamer,
give em the day, take back the night...'
loretta works for a florist,
sends bouquets to her friend half price,
joni's an airline stewardess
serves the n.y. to paris-hong kong flight.
if you wanna call this a coming of age song
alright, alright, alright,
joni says 'i'm an american consumer (that's right),
give em the day, take back the night,
give em the day, take back the night...'
