Текст песни: The American Dream + перевод

Well the sun’s settin' on the veranda

As the ceilin' fan stirs the air

I pour me another a-what I’ve been drinkin'

Sit back in my wicker chair

She’s still in that big house in Houston

Where we tried to find happiness

Somehow I know she would not understand it

If she could see me like this

There’s no lawn to mow 'cause the grass dosen’t grow

People get high every day

It’s a little bit hotter ya can’t drink the water

A dollar still goes a long way

Tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat

And peace of mind is free

Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border

I found the American dream

We thought we’d found it in Houston

With the house and the cars and the pool

Sometimes people own things, sometimes things own you

I won’t even bother to write her

She’d hate it down here anyhow

She can have all the things we had together

I won’t be needin' them now

There’s no lawn to mow 'cause the grass dosen’t grow

People get high every day

It’s a little bit hotter ya can’t drink the water

A dollar still goes a long way

Tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat

And peace of mind is free

Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border

I found the American dream

Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border

I found the American dream
