Was written in 2008 recorded first by Neon Max came off too blues and confused. They did a gr8 job real pros Now recorded with The Band N8 The song talks about how every civilization can die off. It explains how we the people of the USA are the American Dream and we must rebuild our country our bridges and roadways I mean if we're gonna stay here a while Also talks about leaders grinding our growth to a halt IE "Last year was a tough one for everyone in town"

Well I walked out this evening and the favorite son was gone Turn the engine over caus I must be movin on Rollin down the freeway singing my forever song Bridges and the roadways all falling down BET YA DIDN'T KNOW YOU ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM BUT I GUESS YOU ALWAYS KNEW YOU ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM Well last year was a tough one for everyone in town A couple years a ago we all got kicked around Spent many day and nights rethinking all we know Now we got new feelings watch our country GROW! BET YA DIDN'T KNOW YOU ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM BUT I GUESS YOU ALWAYS KNEW YOU ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM Many years ago before we came along Taos and the Hopi sing their native song lived their live in the caves and on the southern plains all crumbled to the Earth with no one to blame BET YA DIDN'T KNOW YOU ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM BUT I GUESS YOU ALWAYS KNEW YOU ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM
