The american dreamer lyrics

Artist  : Gene clark 
Song : The american dreamer
 
Think of all the things that money can buy 
Like a ranch in the mountains or a pleasure for
your eye 
Then think of all the things that a dollar bill
won`t bring 
Like someone to hold you close and a song for you
to sing 
 
Then think of all the years that it takes to be a
fool 
Like the lessons you learn in a lifetime like
your lifetime was a school 
And then think of all the things that don`t turn
out what they seem 
Like the love that you thought you owned in the
American dream 
 
The American dreamer sometimes a thinker
sometimes a schemer 
Sometimes a child sometimes a wise man 
A lonely sole, great extremer 
But none the less the American Dreamer
