Chasing the American Dream Lyrics

I left my best friend in Tulsa
Every city we called home, down the line
Lord I feel like some kind of gypsy
Moved on by the ladders you climb
I can't count the gardens I've planted
And left me for one flower bloom
With the pages of my life I wrap my own dreams
Like crystal in yesterday's news

Cause we're chasing the American dream
Every time you move up we move on
Back and forth across this land
Living out the company man
Spendin' our moonlit nights chasing the dawn
First thing people ask is where you come from
Why should a simple question be so hard
I've spent my life tearin' roots up
And digging new holes in my heart

I've learned to roll with the punches
And pick off the dust that we've tossed
We got everything we never had as lovers
And money can't buy what it's cost
Cause we're chasing the American dream now
Every time you move up we move on
Back and forth across this land
Living out the company man
Spendin' our moonlit nights chasing the dawn

(Chasing the American dream) Yeah
Oh, we're chasing the American dream
We keep chasing the American dream
Chasing the American dream
Oh, we're chasing the American dream
