American Dream

D G I beg your pardon momma what did you say A D My mind was drifting on a Martinque day G It's not that I'm not interested you see A D Augusta Georgia is just no place to be G I think Jamaica in the moonlight A D Sandy beaches drinking rum every night D G We've got no money momma but we can go A D We'll split the difference and go to Coconut grove D G Just keep on talking momma I can hear A D Your voice it tickles down inside of my ear D G I feel a tropical vacation this year A D Might be the answer to this Hillbilly beer G I think Jamaica in the moonlight A D Sandy beaches drinking rum every night D G We've got no money momma but we can go A D We'll split the difference and go to Coconut grove D G Viola an American dream A D We can travel girl without any means D G When it's as easy as closing your eyes A D And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign SOLO D G Just keep on talking momma I like the sound A D It goes so good with that rain poring down D G I feel a tropical vacation this year A D Might be the answer to this Hillbilly beer G I think Jamaica in the moonlight A D Sandy beaches drinking rum every night D G We've got no money momma but we can go A D We'll split the difference and go to Coconut grove D G Viola an American dream A D We can travel girl without any means D G When it's as easy as closing your eyes A D And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign SOLO From Rodney Crowell "Ain't Living Long Like This" Warner Brothers Records 1978 Copyright Tressa Publishing Corp
