C F C
I GOT A BRAND NEW CHEVROLET OUT IN THE DRIVE
C F G
I GOT A THIRTY YEAR FIXED RATE MORTGAGE THAT I LIVE INSIDE
C F
I DON?T THINK I LIKE WHAT I GOT
C F
CAUSE I THINK IT?S GOT ME
C F G C
I GUESS I JUST WOKE UP FROM MY AMERICAN DREAM
I GUESS MY WIFE SHE?LL WORK FOR THE STATE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE
WHEN ALL SHE EVER WANTED TO BE WAS A MOM AND A WIFE
SHE TELLS ME I DON?T LOOK LIKE THE GUYS IN COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE
I GUESS SHE JUST WOKE UP FROM HER AMERICAN DREAM
F
AIN?T IT FUNNY
Am
HOW THE MONEY
C
DON?T ALWAYS CUT THE DEAL
F
AIN?T IT STRANGE
Am
HOW WE CHANGE
C G
WHEN WE FIND WHAT?S REALLY REAL.
JOHNNY LOVED TO TEACH THE KIDS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
SAID IT?S BEEN A WHOLE LOT HARDER SINCE THEY CHANGED THE RULES.
GUNSHOTS ECHO THROUGH THE HALLS
ANOTHER ONE FALLS
THE LAST BELL RINGS
AND IT WOKE HIM UP FROM HIS AMERICAN DREAM
RANDY WAS A SMALL TIME HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL STAR
BECKY GOT KNOCKED UP IN THE BACK SEAT OF HIS CAR.
HE?S GOT A BABY THAT SCREAMS AND A BOSS THAT?S MEAN
AND A WIFE STILL IN HER TEENS
THEY?RE ALL WAKING HIM UP TO HIS AMERICAN DREAM
CHORUS
REPEAT 1ST VERSE AND END
