Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ☆ An American Dream

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

CHORUS:
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

CHORUS

Voila! An American Dream
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

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

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

CHORUS
