Lyrics Jake Scott – American Man

Green ties pulled tight like nooses
Hands shake I’m taken in
Dreams die in time I lose it
Farewell my innocence

Is this all I dreamed of
When I was young and fearless
Now my days slip by from 9-5
And I, I can’t do this
No I, I can’t do this

Green eyes in ties excuses
Hands shake I’m caving in
White lies divide I choose this
Farewell my faithfulness
I’ve been seduced by my grief
And my mistress calling me
My fingers scratch ’til they bleed
Don’t I deserve what makes me happy

Is this all I dreamed of
When I was young and fearless
Now my days slip by from 9-5
And I, I can’t do this
No, I can’t do this

I don’t see
How this could be worth living for
No Iiiiii don’t see
There has to be something more in this

Is this all I dreamed of
When I was young and fearless
Now my days slip by from 9-5
And I, I can’t do this
No, I can’t do this
