C5                  F5                  C5 
I GOT A BRAND NEW CHEVROLET OUT IN THE DRIVE 
C5                               F5                    G5 
I GOT A THIRTY YEAR FIXED RATE MORTGAGE THAT I LIVE INSIDE 
C5                           F5 
I DON?T THINK I LIKE WHAT I GOT 
C5                      F5 
CAUSE I THINK IT?S GOT ME 
C5                        F5     G5         C5 
I GUESS I JUST WOKE UP FROM MY AMERICAN DREAM 
 
I GUESS MY WIFE SHE?LL WORK FOR THE STATE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE 

WHEN ALL SHE EVER WANTED TO BE WAS A MOM AND A WIFE 

SHE TELLS ME I DON?T LOOK LIKE THE GUYS IN COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE 

I GUESS SHE JUST WOKE UP FROM HER AMERICAN DREAM 
 

        F5 
AIN?T IT FUNNY 
        A5 
HOW THE MONEY  
     C5 
DON?T ALWAYS CUT THE DEAL 
         F5 
AIN?T IT STRANGE 
       A5  
HOW WE CHANGE 
        C5                 G5 
WHEN WE FIND WHAT?S REALLY REAL.  
 
JOHNNY LOVED TO TEACH THE KIDS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL 
SAID IT?S BEEN A WHOLE LOT HARDER SINCE THEY CHANGED THE RULES. 
GUNSHOTS ECHO THROUGH THE HALLS 
ANOTHER ONE FALLS 
THE LAST BELL RINGS 
AND IT WOKE HIM UP FROM HIS AMERICAN DREAM 
 
RANDY WAS A SMALL TIME HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL STAR 
BECKY GOT KNOCKED UP IN THE BACK SEAT OF HIS CAR. 
HE?S GOT A BABY THAT SCREAMS AND A BOSS THAT?S MEAN 
AND A WIFE STILL IN HER TEENS 
THEY?RE ALL WAKING HIM UP TO HIS AMERICAN DREAM 
 
CHORUS 
 
REPEAT 1ST VERSE AND END
