Well I used to work the graveyard
Used to have to paint the stones
Now I clean the farmyard
Have to lick it clean alone
I got a wife and kid
Sharin' an Econoline
We keep the sucker hid
Underneath the Hollywood sign
You know I do all right
Oh yea and it's ok
I'd like to kill the light
I'd love to sleep all day[Chorus]
Livin' in a dream
Livin' in the U.S.A.
Livin' in a dream
Livin' in the U.S.A.Then I used to have a penthouse
Used to have a wife like you
Now I keep the door locked
Her attorney's tryin' to break in too
Everyone's aboard
It's quite the social set
They leave me polaroids
Of everyone I never met
You know they do all right
It's the all-American way
They like to stay all night
The love to drink all day[Chorus]Purple mountain majesty
Crumble into the sea
Spirit of the spacious skies
Shine your grace on me[Chorus]
