Oh Lord, what I got to show?

My Own American Dream…
I’ve tried and I’ve tried
Determined and denied
Knocked down four times
I stood up five
I got a good heart
Nerves’ steel
Tell me that I won’t and I’ll show you that I sure will
To be strong is to believe…
My Own American Dream
*
I got songs stuck in my sould
and I’ve been blessed and I’ve been bold…
and I got a pretty little girl
and she believes in me
I got the sun and the rain and the right to freedom
and a cold beer and some good friends
when my hands are tied, they’ve got a hand to lend
I got all a man could need. (Living)
My Own American Dream
Outro: G, D, Am, D - repeats to fade
