She was a midwestern prom queen
Got a boyfriend
Headed out west
They ended up in the valley
In a one room apartment
Disconnected phone

Now five years later she's single
She's got two kids and a note
And if she gets a moment to herself
She can't remember how everything used to go away

She says, Where did the time go?
When everything was simple and free
I wanna know what happened,
Somebody woke me before I could have my American Dream

For twenty years you were corporate
He planned to early retire
His CEO, he stole a billion dollars
Now he's working at Denny's
Hopin' for a raise

He thinks, Where did the time go?
When everything was simple and free
I wanna know what happened,
Somebody woke me before I could have my American Dream

I'm a little bit rebel
I'm a bit patriot
I can see the both sides of the coin
But still it gets to be rough
Everything is screwed up
Guess it's just the American way

Sometimes I wonder how you are
You're up in New York City with the family
I think I could've been your God
It's just a moment in time when it's slippin' all away

Where did the time go?
When everything was simple and free
I wanna know what happened,
Somebody woke me before I could have my American Dream
