Ian Hunter: "American Music" Lyrics

(ian hunter)



I have a dream-its only one dream

But I know dreams can come true

And I have a wish-its only one wish

But I know wishes can too



I wanna be-faraway from here

With those honky tonk heroes-burnin my ears-oh



Love american music-i play it all night long

Just me n records-n a vivid imagination

I love to dance in the mirror-i practice every single word

And it seems to me american music-is all Ive ever heard

Oh oh oh-oh oh oh its lonely on the underground

I sit and watch my world go round n round n round n round n round

I sit and watch the world go round



I hear the sons of memphis-i hear the brothers or harlem

I hear the nashville cats n the rag time mamas outa new orleans

I hear the windy city-i hear a gospel singers hymn-and it seems to me

American music is all theres ever been



Cmon baby oh oh -oh oh-oo-oo

I love the names of the cities-i hear the echo echoing

And it seems to me american music is all theres ever been
