An American Dream

Written by Rodney Crowell

	  		
D                       G 
I beg your pardon mamma what did you say   
A                         D   
My mind was drifting on a Martinique Bay  
                          G   
It's not that I'm not interested you see   
A                       D    
Southeast Missouri is just no place to be   
                       G   
I think Jamaica in the moonlight   
A                      D   
Sandy beaches drinking rum every night   
D                        G   
We've got no money mamma but we can go   
A                                     D   
We'll split the difference  and go to Coconut grove   
D                          G   
Just keep on talking mamma I can hear   
A                          D   
Your voice it tickles down inside of my ear   
D                 G   
I feel a tropical vacation this year   
A                           D   
Might be the answer to this Hillbilly Beer  
                       G   
I think Jamaica in the moonlight   
A                      D   
Sandy beaches drinking rum every night   
D                        G   
We've got no money mamma but we can go   
A                                     D   
We'll split the difference  and go to Coconut grove   
D            G   
Viola an American dream   
A                     D   
We can travel girl without any means   
D                    G   
When it's as easy as closing your eyes   
A                      D   
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign   
   
SOLO   
   
D                          G   
Just keep on talking mamma I like the sound   
A                          D   
It goes so good with that rain poring down   
D                 G   
I feel a tropical vacation this year   
A                           D   
Might be the answer to this Hillbilly beer   
                       G   
I think Jamaica in the moonlight   
A                      D   
Sandy beaches drinking rum every night   
D                        G   
We've got no money mamma but we can go   
A                                     D   
We'll split the difference  and go to Coconut grove   
D            G   
Viola an American dream   
A                     D   
We can travel girl without any means   
D                    G   
When it's as easy as closing your eyes   
A                      D   
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign   
   
SOLO
