I lit the fire, poured out the bottle Asked the moonlight what it might have seen If we danced, I can't remember I fell down into the American Dream Been too long in the Devil's workshop So I'm driving the backbone to change the scenery Here come the horses through purgatory They fell down into the American Dream Summer time sunshine, shine on me Show me where I'm going I'll find an old friend in El Dorado Like Harry Dean Stanton on a drive-in screen A tumbleweed blowing through Paris, Texas He fell down into the American Dream Sun-bleached dresses wavin' from a clothesline Come Saturday evening, they'll have a place to be I'll pick some flowers to take to her Mama I fell down into the American Dream Summer time sunshine, shine on me Won't you show me where I'm goin'? Leaving San Francisco for New Orleans I can hear that rooster crowin' Songtexte Spit and polish the ancient story Love and glory, gold and greed Nothing changes, even if it wants to We go down into the American Dream We go down, baby On down to New Orleans Down, baby Only finding what it means Aus Songtexte Mania
