LyricMeaning

The American
Angie Aparo

Sonny took a train, Mary took a boat

Somewhere it's gonna be better

Everybody needs a little hope

Ten thousand souls waiting on a bus and it never rolled

So it goes


No one's leaving California, Pacific transit overload

Gold dust dreamers never warn ya

And my guitar strums

I am the American


I got a walking stick and an old sock hat

I've got dirty hands and I've got a dream to match

I've got a pocket full

Of government issue cures for poverty


No one's leaving California, Pacific transit overload

All my friends live on the corner

And my guitar strums

I am the American


Under the streetlight, down by the water

Don't worry baby, it's nothing you ever knew

If it makes you feel better, throw down a quarter

Don't worry baby, it won't stick to your shoe


No one's leaving California, Pacific transit overload

Gold dust dreamers never warn ya

And my guitar strums, yeah, my guitar strums

I am the American
