American Heartache

from Paradise by The Wood Brothers

/

lyrics

everything I need
is blowing in the breeze
everything I want
is just down stream
everything between my ears
is just a dream

I never stay still
I’m always moving
flying in a tin can
hanging by a shoestring
sitting on a plastic throne
living like a king

Stuck in a dream
Stuck in a dream
It’s only American Heartache
It’s only American Heartache

I wanna make peace
but I don’t have the skill
when I feel pain
I reach for the pill
wish I had a body of steel
but I’m over the hill

Stuck in a dream
Stuck in a dream
It’s only American Heartache
It’s only American Heartache
Nothing is wrong
Nothing at stake
I only feel bad
when I can’t have it all
