I always thought that I wanted a long, new, shiny Cadillac
That a real man wears five hundred dollar suits upon his back
I always thought that I needed a big, old house with a million dollar view

But baby, since we fell in love, all I needed is you

Waking up (waking up) to my American dream
She´s a long haired, blue eyed, country girl
She´s better than a fantasy
Waking up (waking up) to my American dream
And I would not trade the whole wide world
For what she means to me

She´s pretty as the moonlight on the gulf of Mexico
And her heart is pure and true as any California gold
I put her on a pedastel like Lady Liberty
Know there is no finer girl from sea to shining sea

I´m waking up (waking up) to my American dream
She´s a long haired, blue eyed, country girl
She´s better than a fantasy
Waking up (waking up) to my American dream
And I would not trade the whole wide world
For what she means to me

Waking up (waking up) to my American dream
She´s a real live, blue eyed, country girl
The best thing I´ve ever seen
And I would not trade the whole wide world
For what she means to me
I´m waking up (waking up) to my American dream
I´m waking up (I´m waking up) to my American dream
