I have a dream-its only one dream But I know dreams can come true And I have a wish-its only one wish But I know wishes can too I want to be-faraway from here With those honky tonk heroes-burnin' my ears-oh Love American music-I play it all night long Just me n'records-n'a vivid imagination I love to dance in the mirror-I practice every single word And it seems to me American music-is all I've ever heard
Oh oh oh-oh oh oh its lonely on the underground I sit and watch my world go round n' round n' round n' round n' round I sit and watch the world go round I hear the sons of Memphis-I hear the brothers or Harlem I hear the Nashville Cats n' the rag time mamas outa New Orleans I hear the Windy City-I hear a gospel singers hymn-and it seems to me American music is all there's ever been
