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

Glad Sierra’s getting big recognition these days!

Sierra performed '"American Dreaming" publicly for the 1st time on New Years Eve a couple years ago in Nashville. Simply amazing ! She read the lyrics from a notebook because she literally just wrote the song. By the last chorus she had the whole audience singing along.

[rodya_malverde]

From busking around street corners...to being a favorite feature on small youtube channel gems on vhs...to touring big festivals and on mainstream TV. Crazy.

[elmac]

I started following Sierra the first summer of the pandemic. What a joy to watch her growth. A hard worker this one!!!!
