Gene Clark The American Dreamer Lyrics

The American Dreamer Lyrics

Think of all the things that money can buy 
Like a ranch in the mountains or a pleasure for your eye 
Then think of all the things that a dollar bill won`t bring 
Like someone to hold you close and a song for you to sing 
 
Then think of all the years that it takes to be a fool 
Like the lessons you learn in a lifetime like your lifetime was a school 
And then think of all the things that don`t turn out what they seem 
Like the love that you thought you owned in the American dream 
 
The American dreamer sometimes a thinker sometimes a schemer 
Sometimes a child sometimes a wise man 
A lonely sole, great extremer 
But none the less the American Dreamer
