F C G
His American dream�s like the county line sign that he shot full of holes
And 2-4 don�t seem like much till you�re stuck in an 8X10
He felt guilty damn near all his life and much more now than then
He wrote a letter to Jesus last night and he nailed it up to the cross
Yeah he�s free in his heart but at night in the dark, you know the man he�s still the boss
Chorus
He walked through the gate last Thursday and headed on into town
What did he see but a Cadillac there with all it�s windows down
Chorus 2:
And it�s broke down, hands down,and it's back to who he was
No change it seems strange, it ain�t ever been push or shove
And now he�s goin� back to tie himself to the whippin� pole
And his American dream like the county sign that he shot full of holes
