An American Dream Lyrics By The Dirt Band

    i beg your pardon mama what did you say
    my mind was drifting off on martinique bay
    it’s not that i’m not interested you see
    augusta georgia is just no place to be

    i think jamaican in the moonlight
    sandy beaches drinking rum every night
    we got no money mama but we can go
    we’ll split the difference go to coconut grove

    keep on talking mama i can hear
    your voice it tickles down inside of my ear
    i feel a tropical vacation this year
    might be the answer to this hillbilly fear

    i think jamaican in the moonlight
    sandy beaches drinking rum every night
    we got no money mama but we can go
    we’ll split the difference go to coconut grove

    voila an american dream
    well we can travel girl without any means
    when it’s as easy as closing your eyes
    and dream jamaica is a big neon sign

    just keep talking mama i like that sound
    it goes so easy with that rain falling down
    i think a tropical vacation this year
    might be the answer to this hillbilly fear

    voila an american dream
    yeah we can travel girl without any means
    when it’s as easy as closing your eyes
    and dream jamaica is a big neon sign

    just think jamaican in the moonlight
    sandy beaches drinking rum every night
    we got no money mama but we can go
    we’ll split the difference go to coconut grove
