There's no one to hear
You might as well scream
They never woke up
From the American Dream
And they don't understand
What they don't see
And they look through you
And they look past me
You and I dancing slow
We got nowhere to go

Past the woman in the prision
And the local VA
Just my jeans and my t-shirt
And my blue Chevrolet
It's Saturday night
I feel like everything is wrong
I got some strawberry wine
I want to get you alone
Get you alone

Cause there's no one to hear
You might as well scream
They never woke up
From the American Dream
And they don't understand
What they don't see
And they look through you
And they look past me
You and I dancing slow
We got nowhere to go

Down by the muddy water
Of the mighty road
On a road that goes to nowhere
Will I ever know
Dance with me forever
This moment is divine
I'm so close to heaven
This hell is not mine
This hell is not mine

There's no one to hear
You might as well scream
They never woke up
From the American Dream
And they don't understand
What they don't see
And they look through you
And they look past me
You and I dancing slow
We got nowhere to go
