American Dreams Lyrics & Chords By The Grand Magnolias

LyricsView Chords

I met a girl with a lip tattoo,
she looked skinny as a rail in her high heel shoes
She’s got a spot above webster hall
gonna run this town with her hair up in a bow.
Just a small town girl, USA, hell her daddy’s bagging groceries, livin’ day by day;
And I know she knows it ain’t her place, but she’s tired of that living in the same cliché’s,
So she the first to hold a degree,
while her momma’s waitin’ tables down at ruby Tuesday’s;
but I aint saying that at all like its mean, cause her momma probably taught the girl damn near everything.
So she gonna do what she wants to do. She gonna wear a one piece bathing suit. She gonna smile, she gonna scream, Small town girl in a big city,
yeah she’s making her move.
She’s got american dreams.
Oh so baby look at you now, you’re a small town girl in a big ol’ crowd;
You’re moving up, you’re making your scene, you ain’t making a dime but you’re livin’ your dreams;
And out there you’re bound to have some fights, but follow your heart, you gon do alright'
And I know that’s what you’ll always do, you were born to beat people for breaking the rules
So she gonna do what she wants to do. She gonna wear a one piece bathing suit. She gonba smile, she gonna scream
Small town girl in a big city, 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 never learn nothing, if it’s never your own fault, yeah so do what you do, oh go on and make us a move
She got american dreams
She got american dreams
She gonna do what she wants to do, the girl in the one piece bathing suit, she gonna, yeah she gonna 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)
