Lyrics:
Wake up again in a old motel, is it somewhere different I can’t tell
Every set of curtains opens to the open road
And I’m missing you like hell, this van is like a prison cell
And I know you have gone with her and I can’t go back home

I’ve been American dreaming, ooo
I’m American dreaming, ooo
I’m American dreaming, ooo
But, I never seem to get no rest

I should get some rest today then pack my bags, be on my way
But my minds always working on the way it could have been
Trying to tow a tight rope line, find a way to feel half fine
Without drowning in this wine, and calling you again

I’ve been American dreaming, ooo
I’m American dreaming, ooo
I’m American dreaming, ooo
But, I never seem to get no rest

I’m losing touch with all my friends, the ones who remind me who I am
If I could just get back home to pick up where we left off
I’d take better care of myself, I’d stop drinking from the bottom shelf
But my old wheels keep spinning and I cannot make them stop

I’ve been American dreaming, ooo
I’m American dreaming, ooo
I’m American dreaming, ooo
But, I never seem to get no rest

So, I get back home and try to be someone that’s something like me
But, I’ve forgotten all my angels out here in the wind
Sitting out here with my mind I meditate to pass the time
But there’s something inside setting sail all over again

Ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo

I’ve been American dreaming, ooo
I’m American dreaming, ooo
I’m just American dreaming, ooo
But, I never seem to get no rest

Oh, I’m American dreaming, ooo
I’m American dreaming, ooo
I’m American dreaming, ooo
But, I never seem to get no rest

Sierra, you're a whole different kind of special. ❤

[jtopp]

Congrats Sierra. It's well deserved.

[jalepezo]

True artistry comes by rarely, Keep America alive !!!

[gillygil]

This is especially relevant. Is it ever enough?

Saw you play in Maine 2021 at a country festival. I met a girl in the woods while living in a primitive lean to shelter. I heard her playing "in dreams" by you and it sparked a smile in her face that i knew who you were. We instantly started bonding by foraging wild foods, birding, crafting stuff out of natural material and anything you can do in the woods really. The weekend we saw you perform we slept along the lower river under clouds and bits of stars. Thanks for your music its brought a lot of peace to my life. Im in south central california now listening to the rain and your new music missing living outside.

Next best new artist right!! Let’s go!! Country and all!! Now!! We missed the CMAs 2024. At least the AMAs…if it still exists! Hands down. All her music is fused in her beauty of sound. So native. So pure. America.

[artbascomb]

So very, very, very good. Thank you.

I loved this song the first time I heard it and it just keeps getting better. The lyrics, the music, your delightful voice all tell your story. And someone finally figured out how to capture your sound. 👏

This is the sound of America, I love it

[johnny]

The song "American Dreaming" is one of those songs that will be as good in a hundred years as it is now.This song is a masterpiece of joy to my ears and i cant get it out of my head. Thank you Miss Sierra

[jcaylor]

Just dream'n in Radford VA. Love each other, be kind, stay solid. 💕

F%/£*ing hell, first there's that lilting, casual do-do-do prelude; then one of the strongest first verses ever. Most singer-writers would give their Martin D28 for it! The words are great not only because they tell a convincing story but also, anyone who knows your real life pro-bio can tell you're a unique American who's done the travelling--from Seattle to NYC and many points in between. Your go-anywhere voice is happy, seems, in any music setting; even a band-electric one. Ace stuff, indeed. MOH
