American Dreams Lyrics - Singles - The Grand Magnolias

I met a girl with a lip tattoo, 

she looked skinny as a rail in her high heel shoes 

Shes got a spot above webster hall 

gonna run this town with her hair up in a bow. 

Just a small town girl, USA, hell her daddys bagging groceries, livin day by day; 

And I know she knows it aint her place, but shes tired of that living in the same clichs, 

So she the first to hold a degree, 

while her mommas waitin tables down at ruby Tuesdays; 

but I aint saying that at all like its 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 shes making her move. 

Shes got american dreams. 

Oh so baby look at you now, youre a small town girl in a big ol crowd; 

Youre moving up, youre making your scene, you aint making a dime but youre livin your dreams; 

And out there youre bound to have some fights, but follow your heart, you gon do alright' 

And I know thats what youll always do, you were born to beat people for breaking the rules 

So she gonna do what she wants to do. She gonna wear a one piece bathing suit. She gonba smile, she gonna scream 

Small town girl in a big city, yeah shes making her move. She got american dreams- 

Dont come from anyone else, 

theyre born from the beating deep inside your chest, lord knows they do 

Yeah and the harder you try the harder you might fall, but you never learn nothing, if its never your own fault, yeah so do what you do, oh go on and make us a move 

She got american dreams 

She got american dreams 

She gonna do what she wants to do, the girl in the one piece bathing suit, she gonna, yeah she gonna do 

She got a black dress on, yeah she got some long brown hair, yeah she got (american dreams), yeah she skinny as a rail, yeah she got (american dreams)
