Hey, hey, it's me on the radio
Everybody knows my name
I'm a flying leather neck 
I even got my own plane 
The wild girls they hand you
Passions on a plate 
We blew minds in the Carolinas 
Now I'm ready for the Tennessee state

We're out on the road who live in motels
We all live a different kind of life 
We out on the highway for a living 
We may never ever see the light 
Way down in Memphis 
There's a king upon a golden throne 
But when darkness fell across the tracks
I fell in love with a cute little fan
Emeretta was just sixteen 
A guiding light, shining bright 
Within this American dream 
We out on the road who live in motels ..

Shining bright in my American dream
Shining bright in my American dream
Shining bright in this American dream
Gotta follow this American dream
Could have stayed here forever 
Never ever wanted to leave 
But we made a vow to stick together
And follow this American dream 
We out on the road who live in motels ..
