The American - Angie Aparo

Sonny took a train 
Mary took a boat 
Somewhere it's gonna be better 
Everybody needs a little hope 
Ten thousand souls 
Waiting on a bus and it never rolled 
So it goes...
No one's leaving California 
Pacific transit overload 
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya 
And my guitar strums 
I am The American 

I got a walking stick 
And an old sock hat 
I've got dirty hands 
And I've got a dream to match 
I've got a pocket full 
Of government issue cures for poverty 

No one's leaving California 
Pacific transit overload 
All my friends live on the corner 
And my guitar strums 
I am The American 

Under the streetlight, down by the water 
Don't worry baby, it's nothing you ever knew 
(If it) Makes you feel better, throw down a quarter 
Don't worry baby, it won't stick to your shoes 

No one's leaving California 
Pacific transit overload 
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya 
And my guitar strums 
Yeah my guitar strums 
I am The American
