Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - American Dream lyrics
I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say
 My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay
 It's not that I'm not interested, you see
 Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be
 I think Jamaican in the moonlight
 Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night
 We got no money, mama, but we can go
 We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove
 Keep on talking, mama, I can hear
 Your voice, it tickles down inside of my ear
 I feel a tropical vacation this year
 Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear
 I think Jamaican in the moonlight
 Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night
 We got no money, mama, but we can go
 We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove
 Voila, An American DreamNitty Gritty Dirt Band - American Dream - http://motolyrics.com/nitty-gritty-dirt-band/american-dream-lyrics.html
 Well, we can travel girl, without any means
 When it's as easy as closing your eyes
 And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign
[Instrumental Interlude]
 Just keep talking, mama, I like that sound
 It goes so easy with that rain falling down
 I think a tropical vacation this year
 Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear
 And voila, An American Dream
 Yeah, we can travel, girl, without any means
 When it's as easy as closing your eyes
 And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign
 Just think Jamaican in the moonlight
 Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night
 We got no money, mama, but we can go
 Split the difference, go to Coconut Grove
