American Music Lyrics

American Music lyrics

(Ian Hunter)

I have a dream-its only one dream
But I know dreams can come true
And I have a wish-its only one wish
But I know wishes can too

I wanna be-faraway from here
With those honky tonk heroes-burnin` my ears-oh

Love American music-I play it all night long
Just me n` records-n` a vivid imagination
I love to dance in the mirror-I practice every single word
And it seems to me American music-is all I`ve ever heard
Oh oh oh-oh oh oh its lonely on the underground
I sit and watch my world go round n` round n` round n` round n` round
I sit and watch the world go round

I hear the sons of Memphis-I hear the brothers or Harlem
I hear the Nashville Cats n` the rag time mamas outa New Orleans
I hear the Windy City-I hear a gospel singers hymn-and it seems to me
American music is all there`s ever been

C`mon baby oh oh -oh oh-oo-oo
I love the names of the cities-I hear the echo echoing
And it seems to me American music is all there`s ever been
