The American Dreamer Songtext
von Gene Clark

Think of all the things that money can buy
Like a ranch in the mountains or a pleasure for your eye
Then think of all the things tha a dollar bill won′t bring
Like someone to hold you close and a song for you to sing


Then think of all the years that it takes to be a fool
Like the lessons you learn in a lifetime
Like your lifetime was a school

And then think of all the things that don't turn out what they seem
Like the love that you thought you owned in the American dream

The American dreamer
Sometimes a thinker, sometimes a schemer
Sometimes a child, sometimes a wise man
A lonely sole, a great extremer
But none the less the American Dreamer
