The American Dream

Just old me, all that I could take, only they can see, roughen and hangin, my blood is on my knee, a prayin to my lord, a singin like a bee, a prayer for my lady, i won't be comin home, a kiss the children for me ,, tellem daddys gone, i won't be comin home, I feel my broken bones, a hangin in the darkness, tellem daddys gone. won't be comin home, the American dream I know. Tellem daddys gone. I love you pudding pop, kisses to the misses, for all the work I've done, tellem daddys gone.
