There's a little white church with a clapboard sign
Says, "Jesus could save you if you could come inside"
There's a bar on the square where we'd all like to go
Where the only neon on says "closed"
There's a little pink house just over the hill
A kitchen full of kids and a table full of bills
There's a man in his chair
says, "They closed down the mill"
But he's drinkin' like the devil and prayin' like hell

He says, "I'm an American drеamer
I'm proud of who I am
I break my back, I bust my ass
I work with thesе two hands
Just like my father's father
I'd die for my son to be
An American dreamer
Just like me"

Somewhere out there, there's a boy and a girl
Stuck on the other side of the world
Dreamin' about the land of the free
Oh, but someday, they'll be just like me

'Cause I'm an American dreamer
I'm proud of who I am
I break my back, I bust my ass
I fight with these two hands
Just like my father's father
I'd die for my son to be
An American dreamer
Just like me

Yeah, just like me
Oh
Yeah, just like me
Yeah

There's a little white church with a clapboard sign
Says, "Jesus could save you if you could come inside"
