American Dream (the Story Of David) Lyrics


Rains American Dream (the Story Of David)


His mind is
Lost in yesterday
He's standing
Beneath a street light in LA
It doesn't matter
That I've lost everything
I've done my best
To give it all away

I followed my American dream to a life of depression and poverty
A story that many of you don't know
I went from all-American kid to a bum on the street in your
neighborhood
There are things about me that you don't know

I came from
Small town USA
I've had my share
Of failures along the way
Although I know success is a measure in your mind
You look at me now as I'm beggin' for a dime
You feel you have the right to judge me

I followed my American dream to a life of depression and poverty
A story that many of you don't know
I went from all-American kid to a bum on the street in your
neighborhood
There are things about me that you don't know

This is my story
Don't you see this could be any man
All from some choices made not long ago
This is my story
Don't you see this could be you man
Why we make choices no one ever knows

I followed my American dream [x3]

I followed my American dream to a life of depression and poverty
A story that many of you don't know
I went from all-American kid to a bum on the street in your
neighborhood
There are things about me that you don't know
