Text: Brooks & Dunn. Cowboy Town. American Dreamer.

I know a woman
Her husband died and he left her with two little children
So she went back to school and she got a degree in business
Yeah, now she owns one
And she taught those kids you can do anything
With the heart of a true believer
Yeah, she?s an American dreamer

And I?ve got a woman
And she waits for me with the light on ?cause she knows I?m coming
And she talks about babies and building a house in the country
Yeah, where it?s sunny
And she?s got faith that can do anything
But she?ll never know how much I need her
Yeah, she?s an American Dreamer

Back in the sixties, well Haggard?s in prison
He?s thinking about writing a tune
And a guy named Armstrong was crazy enough
To think he could walk on the moon
And a preacher named King, well he had a dream
He believed we could all live as one

And a soldier somewhere is praying for peace
While he?s cleaning his gun
American dreamers

And I had a father; he said son if something ain?t real
Then you don?t even bother
And he wasn?t a saint
But, I?d swear the man walked on water
Yeah and he taught me
I ain?t just a long-legged hell-raising
Son of a pipelining, honky-tonk singer
Yeah, I?m an American dreamer
I?m an American dreamer
