Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream
Hey, hey
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Lover, don't you come down
Without a sword or a gun
Well, the gold and the silver you're searchin' is hidden out there, underground
But there's a beast on the clock
Guarding against the folk
And the ghost from the river is watching, she won't let you get any close
[Verse 3]
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream
Hey, hey
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream
Hey, hey
[Verse 4]
Lover, don't make a sound
Bring your rifle around
When I say, "Hallelujah", it's your cue to shoot at the head of the hound
Now take jjust what you need, baby
Anymore won't fit your bag
Go as fast as your feet they will carry, for the greater chase has began
[Verse 5]
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream
Hey, hey
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream
Hey, hey
[Verse 6]
There's no catching your breath
There's no rest till you're dead
There's no Heaven or Hell
There's no runnin' away
