Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Wake up again in an old motel
Is it somewhere different, I can't tell
Every set of curtains opens to the open road
And I'm missing you like hell
This van is like a prison cell
And I know you have gone with her and I can't go back home

I've been American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa
But I never seem to get no rest

I should get some rest today
Then pack my bags, be on my way
But my mind's always workin' on the way it could have been
Tryin' to tow a tight rope line
Find a way to feel half fine
Without drownin' in this wine and callin' you again

I've been American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa
But I never seem to get no rest

Ooh
Ooh

I'm losin' touch with all my friends
The ones who remind me who I am
If I could just get back home to pick up where we left off
I'd take better care of myself
I'd stop drinkin' from the bottom shelf
But my old wheels keep spinnin' and I cannot make them stop

I've been American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa
But I never seem to get no rest

So I'll get back home and try to be
Someone that's something like me
But I've forgotten all my angels out here in the wind
Sittin' out here with my mind
I meditate to pass the time
But there's something inside settin' sail all over again

Ooh
Ooh

I've been American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm just American dreamin', oh-whoa
But I never seem to get no rest

Oh, I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa-oh
I'm American dreamin', oh-whoa
But I never seem to get no rest
