A little outside of Little Rock
Ten miles west on Highway 10
Sat a little white country house
With a little white picket fence
There's a wooden swing in the front yard
Yeah, it's hangin' from an old oak tree
The heart-shaped sign on the front door says
Sammy and Louise
And they're livin' that American dream
Free to choose a way of life
To each their own, we've all got the right
To follow our hearts wherever they might lead
Livin' that American dream
Paul drove by that used car lot
Every day on his way home from school
He dreamed of drivin' that '61 Corvette
Candy apple red, man, it was so cool
He could see him and his baby drivin' across the heartland
Their hair blowin' in the wind
Yeah, it's 20 years later, the kids are all grown
He said, "Honey, ain't it high time we went?"
And we're livin' that American dream
Free to choose a way of life
To each their own, we've all got the right
To follow our hearts wherever they might lead
Livin' that American dream
The rim was a little bent and there wasn't no net
But little Michael, he didn't care
He'd stand outside, come rain or shine
Let that ball sail into the air
He didn't do it for the fame or the money or the glory
He just wanted to play ball
Last night he didn't even hear the roar of the crowd
As he watched that winning shot fall
And we're livin' that American dream
Free to choose a way of life
To each their own, we've all got the right
To follow our hearts wherever they might lead
Livin' that American dream
American dream
American dream
Ooh, yeah
