lyrics

I wanna be in an American band
See the bright lights shining from the back of the van
And we’ll keep on rolling just as long as we can, all right, all right

Another picture to remember you by
Cause it all goes down in the blink of an eye
So you can keep on sleeping in the passenger side, I’ll drive, I’ll drive

Ooh daydream, Ooh save me
Dreaming with eyes wide open
I don’t know where I’m going
I’ll just put my soul in, then tear it wide open
Here’s to the art of hoping
Wish it was you I was holding
I’ll just put my toes in
Will we ever see the ocean?

I want a piece of that American dream
But without selling out, if you know what I mean
And I wrote a great part for the tambourine, all right, all right

We’ll pick it up when the sun goes down
And we’ll keep on rolling till the next small town
But we won’t stop for gas till the light comes on, bone dry, it’s bone dry?

Ooh daydream, Ooh save me
Dreaming with eyes wide open
I don’t know where I’m going
I’ll just put my soul in, then tear it wide open
Here’s to the art of hoping
Wish it was you I was holding
I’ll just put my toes in
Will we ever see the ocean?

Ocean (fall in love again)
Ocean (fall in love again)
Ocean (fall in love again)
(oh maybe)
See the ocean

I wanna see the ocean
Tell my baby I’m coming back home instead
I don’t feel good
I want my own sweet, own sweet, bed
I don’t feel so good no more
Roll the window down and turn it around
I don’t wanna see the next town
I don’t wanna see the next town
I don’t wanna see the next town
