fiogf49gjkf0d For my Father, who had dreams of coming to America. He was a driver for ESSO, and one night saw an antique dealer in Bermondsey market selling a china cabinet to the other dealers, and he started dealing antiques as a second job, one day taking a huge risk by emigrating the family to America for a better life. LYRICS I remember when I was young My Father took a job so we could run Goin round, looking for another pound He took a beating at the football ground The day he met the girl from County Down Pourin down, livin in a troubled town He dreamed we'd all end up in America For he believed in America Gonna take our Sons to America Fulfill your dreams in America He saw the future from accross the street On a lorry up in Bermondsey Double-down, looking for another pound Another pick up on a winter's night Been limpin round another cold frostbite On your toes, leave the shop to Jim and Rose He dreamed we'd all end up in America For he believed in America Gonna take our Sons to America Fulfill your dreams in America They sailed a merchant ship accross the sea Off to America with you and me Slip and slide, to sell it on the other side You put your back into a weekly wage Saw the recession set you back a stage Coming round, Looking for another town He dreamed we'd all end up in America For he believed in America Gonna take our Sons to America Fulfill your dreams in America x
