Lyrics The Wood Brothers

The Wood Brothers

American Heartache

Everything I need is blowing in the breeze

Everything I want is just down stream

Everything between my ears is just a dream

I never stay still, I'm always in motion

Flying in a tin can, hanging by a shoe,

Sitting on a plastic throne, living like a king

Stuck in a dream

Stuck in a dream

It's only American heartache

It's only American heartache

I wanna make peace but I don't have the skills

When I feel pain I reach for the pills

I wish I had a body of steel but I'm over the hill

Stuck in a dream

Stuck in a dream

It's only American heartache

It's only American heartache

Nothing is wrong, nothing's at stake,

I only feel bad when I can't have nothing at all

I only feel bad when I can't have nothing at all

Stuck in a dream

Stuck in a dream

It's only American heartache

It's only American heartache

It's only American heartache

It's only American heartache

It's only American heartache

I only feel bad when I can't have it all
