You Don’t have to believe in something just because you’ve been.
Told it all your life and now its all that’s in between.
A friend would, tell the truth too you
Let go and help you see it too
Do you feel safe?
When there are no excuses left for you to create.
It does it to me every time
You must be reading my mind
A friend, not a stereotype
You’ll pretend to be happy until you die, this time I needed you, you just turned away.
Theres no-where left to go you know its easier to hide.
And stupid games there all the same until its time, time to play divide.
I played it fast, I hit rewind
there was something in front I was hiding behind
Do I need help?
(Coz) The only person you can rely on now is yourself.
Should of known better than to leave it there.
Dont concern yourself, coz everythings all right.Well the sun's settin' on the veranda
As the ceilin' fan stirs the air
I pour me another a-what I've been drinkin'
Sit back in my wicker chair
She's still in that big house in Houston
Where we tried to find happiness
Somehow I know she would not understand it
If she could see me like this
There's no lawn to mow 'cause the grass dosen't grow
People get high every day
It's a little bit hotter ya can't drink the water
A dollar still goes a long way
Tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat
And peace of mind is free
Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
I found the American dream
We thought we'd found it in Houston
With the house and the cars and the pool
Sometimes people own things, sometimes things own you
I won't even bother to write her
She'd hate it down here anyhow
She can have all the things we had together
I won't be needin' them now
There's no lawn to mow 'cause the grass dosen't grow
People get high every day
It's a little bit hotter ya can't drink the water
A dollar still goes a long way
Tequila is sweet, senoritas are neat
And peace of mind is free
Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
I found the American dream
Yeah, two-hundred miles south of the border
I found the American dream
