Song Lyrics

It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream, hey, hey
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream, hey, hey

Lover, don't you come down
Without a sword or a gun
For the gold and the silver you're searching
Is heeded, now they're on the ground
But there's a beast on the clock
Guarding against the foot
And the ghost from the river is watching
She won't let you get any closer

It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream, hey, hey
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream, hey, hey

Lover, don't make a sound
Bring your rifle around
When I say "Hallelujah"
It's your cue to shoot up the head of the hound
Now take this fortune and bury it
Any more won't fit your bed
Wash first, as your feet they will carry
For that way to Jesus be damned

It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream, hey, hey
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream, hey, hey

There' no clutching or brake
There's no race till you're dead
There's no heaven or hell
There's no wrong anyway

Moses Mauti
