                               MY SLICE OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

Spoken: Well I was sittin’ at the counter of Gracie’s Diner, havin’ my mornin’ cup of coffee
when this city dude sits down next to me and asks me how I’m doin’ . . .

I stop here every mornin’
Before I start my day
See I went to school with Gracie
And this here town’s where I was raised

That’s my station on the corner
Right across the street
I pump gas and I make small talk
With the strangers that I meet

          It’s my slice of the American dream
          My life, and I wouldn’t change a thing
          I know I’m right where I belong
          My home has been here all along
          It’s my slice of the American dream

Went away to college
Had a big-time career
But I craved a better life
So I packed up and came back here         

          It’s my slice of the American dream
          My life, and I wouldn’t change a thing
          I know I’m right where I belong
          My home has been here all along
          It’s my slice of the American dream

          It’s my slice of the American dream
          My life, and I wouldn’t change a thing
          I know I’m right where I belong
          My home has been here all along
          It’s my slice of the American dream
