American Dream - Eric Burdon

Hey, hey, it’s me on the radio

Everybody knows my name

I’m a flying leather neck

I even got my own plane

The wild girls they hand you

Passions on a plate

We blew minds in the Carolinas

Now I’m ready for the Tennessee state

We’re out on the road who live in motels

We all live a different kind of life

We out on the highway for a living

We may never ever see the light

Way down in Memphis

There’s a king upon a golden throne

But when darkness fell across the tracks

I made my soulpatrol

I fell in love with a cute little fan

Emeretta was just sixteen

A guiding light, shining bright

Within this American dream

We out on the road who live in motels.

Shining bright in my American dream

Shining bright in my American dream

Shining bright in this American dream

Gotta follow this American dream

Could have stayed here forever

Never ever wanted to leave

But we made a vow to stick together

And follow this American dream

We out on the road who live in motels.
