Woke up this mornin'
and thought I was fine
Walked in the kitchen,
a quarter to ninePoured me some coffee,
read me some news
When I looked up,
all hell broke looseThere's a hole in the roof
it's coming right through
the water's all gone cold
Heater's makin' noise again
and the bread's all growin' moldSongbird singin' in that old oak tree
I'm lookin' up at you,
you're lookin' down on me
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American DreamI hate to let my old lady down
This time I took her out on the town
If I had my way, I'd give her the world
Lord only knows how I love that girlBut the yard needs mowin'
Bills need payin'
Phone's ringing off the line
I got me a list of "Honey do's"
I just can't find the timeSongbird singin' in that old oak tree
I'm lookin' up at you,
you're lookin' down on me
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream(music)Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
I'm lookin' up at you,
you're lookin' down on me
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream
I'm livin' the American Dream
