Lyrics
Don't Take Our Dreams away
spent our, last ten years -climbin on the ladder-went without, a lot of stuff
planned our dreams n-raised our kids-now things, are lookin kinda ruff
I lost my job- at the GM plant - now I, don't know what, I'm gonna do
hey mister politician- hear my plea-where's , my, bailout too-
chorus
don't take our dreams away - give me a job - I promise, I'll pay
I look in my family's eyes , don't know - what- to say
don't take our dreams away
lead
put our last dime - on this piece of dirt - thought someday, it would be mine
now the bank man says, this is my last warning ,better pay the note on time
we're driven down the road in our Chevrolet - made in, the U.S.A.
If you all, bought, something, made right here - everything would be ok
chorus
don't take our dreams away - give me a job - I promise, I'll pay
I look in my family's eyes , don't know - what- to say
don't take our dreams away
give me my dreams - and - the right to say
don't---- take our dreams away
