This is 'The American Dream' As sang by Stacy J. Epperhart and me, of course - this is a great recording: this sorta reflects more of my live sound. This version beats the other two, if you ask me.

Timothy S. Epperhart There are a lot of things that I'm interested in beyond being a musician, a poet or even a crazy person. Sometimes I might spout rhetoric just to see if you'll feed into it. I do that to my folks in real life too. To be honest I would like to post every song I've written with pictures and complete lyrics as I have worked on songwriting these past 10 + years. That work be a definite plus for my fans who have followed my music career. With life and music comes change. I keep an open mind to the world around me usually. I'm by no means so stuck on myself I can't or won't listen to other styles of music. My favorite format and style is probably "Acoustic Rock" - independently driven of course. Independent makes it possible to bloom into something much more than just a has-been on FM radio. I know it might seem a little overwhelming for most folks who get online to search for a song they may like to find a 29 year old man with almost 250 songs available for download. Some people may even be discouraged when they see my list of songs to even listen to one. Then again, some people have told me "Yeah you hear one you hear them all" - and I can completely understand this as I am always going to be me regardless. Anyways so yeah - I've been recording and writing songs for a long time now. That's not to say I actually draw a crowd or whatever when I play out. I really don't. In fact, I hardly ever let the public know that I play out when I do. I've always been this way. I see myself as a recording artist before a performer, performance wise I get all fucked up when I go out in public, I get to drinking. I forget the words to my own songs, because I have so many. It used to be like I could go out and feel good about playing my 5 favorite songs. Now it's like I get on stage and I'm thinking about what I'm going to play and end up just jamming some shit on drop d. There used to be places that I'd love to play who used to actually pay me 100.00 a night to get onstage for a couple hours and just go nuts. I fucking loved playing that bar because they never bullshitted me on my money at the end of the night. The regulars liked me because I used to go in every other day to get drunk, play some pool and hang out, but of course this was back when I was single. Don't get me wrong, I love my fiancee and we usually have a wonderful time, but I never get to get out and play my songs. Even if I did - I'm usually stuck on what I want to play over what I need to I guess.

Lyrics
The American Dream, By Timothy S. Epperhart The town is goin down again, You face the dime, you pay the price, And if you call it - a little bit more then what you expected, Im not sane, im just a crazy From all the lazy times i've talked to none -Broken out, go in circles again. Im fallen down - for you Im fallen down. Its the american dream, Its a light inside of you, Know what i mean Its the reason i sing Its the american dream, Its a light inside of you Know what i mean? I spent so many days so many nights Sittin all alone Playin on my own I dont care Im just one man I do what i can yeah im the man & you can say whatever you want to about my music Well i dont care, well i dont care cuz its mine All mine and you cant take it away Cant take it away Cuz its the american dream Its a light inside of you Know what i mean its the reason i sing Cuz its the american dream Its a light inside of you know what i mean? Back when i was 8 or 9 i got my first guitar Nah they said im gonna be a star But now ill never go real far You might say "man hes crazy-insane" I dont care, cuz im just out of my wing Yeah Cuz its the american dream -Its a light inside of you Know what i mean -Cuz its the american dream Its a light inside of you -know what i mean Just one more thing i forgot to say I dont care if you think i stray You can call me what you will I dont care One more thing i forgot to say Im not gonna go out of my way just to please just to appease The industry The industry call them, Call me up on the telephone I said "yeah your on your own" Well i been own for 14 years I've been face down, Ive been face down, I SAID Is this the american dream? Is this the american dream? Cuz its the american dream, Its a light inside of you Know what i mean Cuz its the american dream Its a light inside of you know what i mean? Now im 24 - all grown up and I got about 5 guitars My recordin sounds all sh** ty man But im still gonna be a star I have a good outlook on my life Even if ive payed the price to play Thats ok thats alright with me Its alright with i'll find another time Another mind spent alone Yeah i spent alone. But now im goin down, And i dont care if i ever see the ground Im goin crazy F*** yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Cuz its the american dream Its a light inside of you know what i mean Its the reason i sing Its the american dream Its a light inside of you know i mean You can reach the stars even if.
