letra de the american dream - the oak ridge boys
the oak ridge boys – the american dream
(written by keith stegall & gary harrison)
well they moved away from the farms they did not own
to live happily ever after on a g.i. loan
the future was looking bright back in ’52
‘neath the shadow of atomic bombs and the baby boom
you could take a walk downtown without being afraid
and hey, who’s the better centre fielder, manual or mace?
there was chicken in every pot even when times were lean
we thought everybody had a shot at the american dream
every mother was supposed to look like donna reed
father knew what was best for you and me
our lives were etched on 8mm frames
as we grew up in houses that all looked the same
but there was trouble on the other side of town
it was a time when people began to stand their ground
arm in arm they stood as they cried “let freedom reign”
everybody wanted the share the american dream
dream on children, dream on
don’t let anybody tell you the dream is gone
as long as there’s a god above
keep on praying we never wake up
keep on dreaming the american dream
there’s medals on the wall i got back in ’69
and the quarter acre piece of heaven i call mine
as i turn off the cable and put my babies to bed
i kiss them goodnight and whisper under my breath
dream on children, dream on
don’t let anybody tell you the dream is gone
as long as there’s a god above
keep on praying we never wake up
keep on dreaming the american dream
ooo, keep on dreaming the american dream
