Tom Petty, The Heartbreakers - American Dream Plan B lyrics

I’m gon' make my way
Through this world someday
I don’t care what nobody say
American dream, political scheme
I’m gon' find out for myself someday
But I’m half-lit, I can’t dance for shit
But I see what I want, I go after it
And my girl’s alright, treats me nice
Sayin’ nothin’
But a woman puts out that light

I got a dream, I’m gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream
I’m gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right

I’m gon' make my way
Through this world someday
I don’t care what nobody say
American dream, political scheme
I’m gon' find out for myself someday
But I’m half-lit, I can’t dance for shit
But I see what I want, I go after it
And my girl’s alright, treats me nice
Sayin’ nothin’
But a woman puts out that light

I got a dream, I’m gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream
I’m gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right

Oh well, my baby no doubt dreams further out
Makin’ moves to get us someway someday
Well, my honey don’t trip
Shoots from the hip
Tell me everything gon' be OK

I got a dream, I’m gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream
I’m gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right

Well, my mama's so sad, daddy’s just mad
‘Cause I ain't gon' have the chance he had
My success is anybody’s guess
But like a fool, I’m bettin’ on happiness

I got a dream, I’m gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream
I’m gonna fight 'til I get it right
Got a dream, I’m gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream
I’m gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right
