[Verse 1]
There's a little white church with a clapboard sign
Says, "Jesus could save you if you could come inside"
There's a bar on the square where we'd all like to go
Where the only neon on says "closed"
There's a little pink house just over the hill
A kitchen full of kids and a table full of bills
There's a man in his chair, says, "They closed down the mill"
But he's drinkin' like the devil and prayin' like hell

[Chorus]
He says, "I'm an American drеamer
I'm proud of who I am
I break my back, I bust my ass
I work with thesе two hands
Just like my father's father
I'd die for my son to be
An American dreamer
Just like me"

[Verse 2]
Somewhere out there, there's a boy and a girl
Stuck on the other side of the world
Dreamin' about the land of the free
Oh, but someday, they'll be just like me
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm an American dreamer
I'm proud of who I am
I break my back, I bust my ass
I fight with these two hands
Just like my father's father
I'd die for my son to be
An American dreamer
Just like me

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, just like me
Oh
Yeah, just like me
Yeah

[Outro]
There's a little white church with a clapboard sign
Says, "Jesus could save you if you could come inside"
