American Dream
Eric Lyrics

Hey, hey, it's me on the radio
Introducing himself as a famous personality on the radio

Everybody knows my name
He's a well-known personality and has a lot of fans

I'm a flying leather neck
Referring to himself as a marine who got respect

I even got my own plane
Achieved great success in his career and have enough fortune to buy his plane

The wild girls they hand you
Famous people get a lot of attention from women

Passions on a plate
The women around him are always ready to fulfill his desires

We blew minds in the Carolinas
Had a great performance in Carolina states; received a lot of appreciation

Now I'm ready for the Tennessee state
Looking forward to performing in Tennessee and gain more popularity

We're out on the road who live in motels
Talking about music tours and how they have to live in motels during their tours

We all live a different kind of life
Although they all are part of the music industry, living in motels gave them a different lifestyle

We out on the highway for a living
They earn their living by performing on the highway

We may never ever see the light
Uncertain and risky future; future earnings are not guaranteed

Way down in Memphis
Talking about Memphis city in Tennessee states

There's a king upon a golden throne
Referring to Elvis Presley, who was also known as the king of Rock and Roll

But when darkness fell across the tracks
When the music scene of Elvis Presley was affected by his untimely death

I made my soulpatrol
Eric formed his band named soulpatrol

I fell in love with a cute little fan
Eric fell in love with one of his admirers who was much younger than him

Emeretta was just sixteen
Her name was Emeretta, and she was just sixteen years old

A guiding light, shining bright
She was an inspiration to him, and her presence made his life brighter

Within this American dream
Everything he was experiencing was part of his American dream

Shining bright in my American dream
He's realizing his dream and enjoying the limelight

Gotta follow this American dream
Determined to follow his dream until he achieves all of it

Could have stayed here forever
He could have been happy staying in Memphis with his love

Never ever wanted to leave
Eric was happy and contended with his life back then

But we made a vow to stick together
But he and his bandmates promised that they will never leave each other's side and make their way to the top together

And follow this American dream
Together, they'll achieve what they set out to achieve.

We out on the road who live in motels ..
Repeating that they're on the road and making music while living in motels.
