lyrics

I had a dream it was clear as day
We made it big in the U.S.A

I wrote a song that I'll never play
Cause when I opened my eyes, the sound went away
Can't work a job that will never pay
Enough for the time that I'd be wasting away

I had a dream that was clear as day
We made it big in the U.S.A

When you're a kid it's hard to understand
And all you wanna do is play guitar in a band
Your friends think it's cool, but you're older man
And they're all having kids and you still live in a van

I had a dream that was clear as day
We made it big in the U.S.A

Worn cassettes, and rolled cigarettes
Livin' on gas station coffee
If I could only remember the words from that dream
We'd be front page on magazines

I'm not famous on the internet
And my record sales don't pay my rent
I wouldn't change it for anything
I've still got my guitar and I can still make it sing

I had a dream that was clear as day
We made it big in the U.S.A
I had a dream that was clear as day
We made it big in the U.S.A

They are both hopeful and melancholic, simultaneously holding reflections of a dusty past played on old tape machines and the surging brightness of future possibility – all while sewn together with tongue-in-cheek self-awareness. ... more
