LYRICS

American Dreamer 

All rights reserved  Kevin WHALEN ASCAP 2025

Verse 1:

It’s six AM and you're not home, again,

Well there’s nothing I can do, anymore.

You're living in your head, in another man’s bed,

But what is love anyway, to you? 

Chorus 1:

Cause I’m, an American Dreamer, and it feels good, 

With you by my side, and I’m counting on you.

I’m just a shot of whiskey in the dark, a stranger in the night, 

Knockin’ down the doors of love for you, I’m looking for you, looking for you, 

looking for you, ya you!

Verse 2:

Well I’m a fistful of fight, you're my morning delight,

Can’t ever get enough of you, this is true.

Let’s drive down the yellow brick road this time, see what we can find,

Cause life is short and our love will hypnotize. 

Chorus 2:

Cause I’m, an American Dreamer, and it feels good,

With you by my side, and I’m counting on you.

I’m just a shot of whiskey in the dark, a stranger in the night, 

Knockin’ down the doors of love for you, looking for you, looking for you, 

looking for you, ya you!

Instrumental

Chorus 3:

Cause I’m, an American Dreamer, and it feels good,

With you by my side, and I’m counting on you.

I’m just a shot of whiskey in the dark, a stranger in the night, 

Knockin’ down the doors of love for you, looking for you, looking for you, 

looking for you, ya you!
