American Dreams
The Grand Magnolias
Letra

I met a girl with a lip tattoo. She looked skinny as a rail in those high heel shoes.
She's got a spot above Webster Hall. Claims to run this town with her hair in a ball.

She was small town girl USA, hell, her daddys bagging groceries, living day by day.
I know she knows it ain't her place. Shes tired of that living and the same clichés.

Now She's the first in her family to hold a degree and her mommas waiting tables down At Ruby Tuesdays. & I aint saying that at all like its mean, cause her momma probably taught the girl damn near everything.

So she's gonna do what she wants to do.
She's gonna wear a one piece bathing suit.
She's gonna smile, she's gonna scream.
She's a small town girl in a big city.
Yeah, she's making her moves.
She's got American Dreams.

So ohh look at you now. You're a small town girl in a big old crowd.
Moving up baby. Making your scene.
Ain't making a dime but you're living your dreams.
And up there you're gonna have your fights.
But girl follow your heart. You gonna be all right.
And I know that's what you always do.
You were born to be free.
Born for breaking the rules.

Dreams don't come from anyone else.
They're born in the beating deep inside of your chest.
Lord knows they do.
And the harder you try the harder you might fall.
But you'll never learn nothing if it aint ever your fault.
So go on and do what you do.
Come on and make us a move.

She's got American Dreams
She's got American Dreams

So she's gonna do what she wants to do.
She's gonna wear a one piece bathing suit.
She's gonna... Yeah she's gonna do

Yeah, Yeah...
