(ian hunter) 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 wanna 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 it's 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 C'mon baby oh oh -oh oh-oo-oo I love the names of the cities-i hear the echo echoing And it seems to me american music is all there's ever been
