Letra de 'American Dreams' de Paul McDonald

I met a girl with a lip tattoo
She looked skinny as a rail in a high heel shoes
She's got a spot above Webster Hall
Gonna run this town with her hair in a ball

Just a small town girl USA
Hell, her daddy's bagging groceries, living day by day
And I know she knows it ain't her place
But she's tired of that living and the same clichés
So she the first to hold a degree
But her momma's waiting tables down at Ruby Tuesdays
And I ain't saying that at all like it's mean
'Cause her momma probably taught the girl damn near everything

So she gon' do what she wants to do
She gon' wear a one piece bathing suit
She gon' smile, she gon' scream
Small town girl in a big city, yeah
Yeah, she's making her move
She got American dreams

Oh, so, baby, look at you now
You're a small town girl in a big old crowd
You're moving up, you're making your scene
You ain't making a dime, but you're living your dreams
And up there you're gonna have some fights
But follow your heart, you gon' do all right
And I know that's what you always do
You were born to be free, born for breaking the rules

So she gon' do what she wants to do
She gon' wear a one piece bathing suit
She gon' smile, she gon' scream
Small town girl in a big city, yeah
Yeah, she's making her move
She got American

Dreams don't come from anyone else
They're born from the beating deep inside your chest
Lord knows they do
Yeah, and the harder you try, the harder you might fall
But you'll never learn nothing if it ain't ever your fault
Yeah, so do what you do
Oh, come on and make us a move

She got American dreams
She got American dreams

She gon' do what she wants to do
The girl in a one piece bathing suit
She gon', yeah, she gon' do
She got a black dress on
Yeah, she got some long brown hair
Yeah, she got (American dreams)
Yeah, she skinny as a rail
Yeah, she got (American dreams)
