Lyrics:

It's a map dot, a freeway stop
It's less than a mile off the blacktop
Where a run of good luck on an eight-point buck makes you a big shot

It’s a grand stand, a high school band
Friday night tom tom fight chant
It’s hard working days on these amber waves of farm land

It's keepin’ your word on a handshake deal
Droppin’ into mama's for a home cooked meal
Ferris wheel first kiss blink and you miss it kinda scene
It's a nowhere no name water tower town
That you'll only see if your car breaks down
It's every place that the rat race just can't wait to leave
It's my American dream

It's a De Cal on an old Chevrolet
For the POW MIA
And giving your praise to the one who saves every Sunday

CHORUS

It's a two-screen marquee
Finally got a Walgreens
Show up to church in your blue jeans

It's keepin’ your word on a handshake deal
Droppin’ into mama's for a home cooked meal
Ferris wheel first kiss blink and you miss it kinda scene
It's a nowhere no name water tower town
That you'll only see if your car breaks down
It's every place that the rat race just can't wait to leave
It's my American dream
It's the American dream
Whoa, the American dream
