An American Dream (2001 - Remaster) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Written by：Rodney Crowell

I beg your pardon momma

What did you say

My mind was drifting off on martinique bay

It's not that I'm not interested you see

Augusta

Georgia is just no place to be

I think jamaican in the moonlight

Sandy beaches

Drinking rum every night

We got no money

Mama

But we can go

We'll split the difference

Go to coconut grove

Keep on talking

Mama

I can hear

Your voice

It tickles down inside of my ear

I feel a tropical vacation this year

Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear

I think jamaican in the moonlight

Sandy beaches

Drinking rum every night

We got no money

Mama

But we can go

We'll split the difference

Go to coconut grove

Voila

An american dream

Well

We can travel girl

Without any means

When it's as easy as closing your eyes

And dream jamaica is a big neon sign

Just keep talking

Mama

I like that sound

It goes so easy with that rain falling down

I think a tropical vacation this year

Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear

Voila

An american dream

Yeah

We can travel

Girl

Without any means

When it's as easy as closing your eyes

And dream jamaica is a big neon sign

Just think jamaican in the moonlight

Sandy beaches

Drinking rum every night

We got no money

Mama

But we can go

We'll split the difference

Go to coconut grove
