lyrics

I hit the road but this here load is dragging me down.
Yeah my nose is damn near scraping of the ground.
But I'm heading out west, taller tree tops, cleaner water, bigger sky.
Pioneering's in my blood baby I'm taming any frontier I can find.

I'm carving out my piece of the American Dream
Like a big old apple pie with a side of ice cream.
I'm carving out my piece of the American Dream.
And I'm trading it in for a new television screen.

Back to my bag you see this tattered thing is heavier than hell.
Full of all the lies I've told and all the ones I'm saving up to tell.
After all my I's are blinded and all my T's have timbered to the ground,
I'm going to call my conscience up and tell him, man have I got a story to tell.

I'm carving out my piece of the American Dream
Like a big old apple pie with a side of ice cream.
I'm carving out my piece of the American Dream.
And I'm trading it in for a new television screen.

I'm carving out my piece of the American Dream.
Like a big old apple pie with a side of ice cream.
But what a shame when finally I see
That a hungry crowd got there before me.

So I'm carving out a piece of the American Dream
It's just not as big as I'd hoped it would be.
