Lyrics
She was a midwestern prom queen Got her boyfriend headed out west They ended up in the valley In a one room apartment A disconnected phone Yeah
Now five years later she's single She's got two kids and a note And if she gets a moment to herself She can remember how everything used To go her way She says
Where did the time go When everything was simple and free? I want to know what happened Somebody woke me before I could Have my american dream
For twenty years he worked corporate He planned to early retire His ceo he stole a billion dollars Now he's working at denny's Hoping for a raise He thinks
Where did the time go When everything was simple and free? I want to know what happened Somebody woke me before I could Have my american dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a little bit rebel I'm a bit patriot I can see they're both sides of the coin But still it gets a bit rough Everything is screwed up I guess its just the american way
Sometimes I wonder how you are You're up in new york city with a family I think I could have been your guy It's just a moment in time that is slipping on away
Where did the time go When everything was simple and free? I want to know what happened Somebody woke me before I could have My american dream My american dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She was a midwestern prom queen Got her boyfriend headed out west
