American Dreams

I met a girl with a lip tattoo, she looks skinny as a rail in her high heel shoes.
She's got a spot above Webster Hall, gonna run this town with her hair up in a ball.
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh.
Just a small town girl, USA, hell her daddy's bagging groceries living day by day.
And I know she knows it ain't her place, but she's tired of that living and the same cliches.
So she's the first to hold a degree, while her momma's waiting tables down at Ruby Tuesday's.
Now I ain't saying that at all like it's mean, 'cause her momma probably taught the girl damn near everything.
So she gonna do what she wants to do, she gonna wear a one-piece bathing suit.
She gonna smile, she gonna scream, small town girl in a big city.
Yeah she's making her move, she got American Dreams.
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh. Ooh ooh, ooh ooh. Ooh ooh, yeah yeah.
Oh so baby look at ya now, you're a small town girl in a big old crowd.
You're moving up, you're making your scene, you ain't making a dime but you're living your dreams.
And up there you're bound to have some fights, but follow your heart you gonna do all right.
And I know that's what you always do, you were born to be free, born for breaking the rules.
So she gonna do what she wants to do, she gonna wear a one-piece bathing suit.
She gonna smile, she gonna scream, small town girl in a big city.
Yeah she's making her move, she got American -
Dreams don't come from anyone else, they come from the beating deep inside your chest.
Lord knows they do.
Yeah yeah and the harder you try, the harder you might fall, but you never learn nothing if it's never your own fault.
Yeah so do what you do, go on and make us a move.
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh.

She gonna do what she wants to do,
The girl in a one-piece bathing suit.
