[Verse 1]
Mama said keep your boots on
Work all day, love all night
Punch in, punch out, pray hard
Hold that little flame of light
[Pre-Chorus]
Got a porch, got a paycheck
Got a name on the front door
Every step I take
I’m thanking Him for more
[Chorus]
Living in the American dream
Jesus in my bloodstream
Living in the American dream
He’s the reason I believe
(Yeah, yeah)
(Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
White fence, red dirt driveway
Sun on the pickup hood
Kids laugh in the front yard
Trying to do the good, good good
[Pre-Chorus]
Got a table full of mercy
Got a job, got a song
When the road gets rocky
He keeps me rolling strong
[Chorus]
Living in the American dream
Jesus in my bloodstream
Living in the American dream
He’s the reason I believe
(Yeah, yeah)
(Oh, oh)
[Bridge]
[Instrumental guitar solo]
From the courthouse steps to Sunday
From the harvest to the rain
He’s the hand that held me up
He’s the name I call in pain
[Chorus]
Living in the American dream
Jesus in my bloodstream
Living in the American dream
He’s the reason I believe
(Yeah, yeah)
(Oh, oh)
