Summer lightning strikes, blows out all the lights

Slows us down, reminds us just how far we've come

We run some rocky roads, walk through fields of gold

Thick and thin, you've always been my only one.

Living this american dream

There's no place that I'd rather be

With you by my side, girl

I'm home and I'm free

This is the stuff life is made of

And I hope I never wake up from this american dream.

So pour that glass of wine, like all we got is time

Oh, nights like this, we just don't get 'em near enough

And in each other's arms we're safe in every storm

And if rain comes through this worn out roof

We'll patch it up.

Aw, we're living this american dream

There's no place that I'd rather be

With you by my side, girl

I'm home and I'm free

This is the stuff life is made of

And I hope I never wake up from this american dream.

Livin' this american dream

There's no place that I'd rather be

With you by my side, I thank god that I'm free

This is the stuff life is made of

And I hope I never wake up from this american dream

American dream

American dream.
