An American Dream The Dirt Band (Rodney Crowell) Lead vocals: The Dirt Band Backing vocals: Linda Ronstadt (Although released in 1979, this song peaked in March of 1980) I beg your pardon momma What did you say? My mind was drifted off on Martinique Bay It's not that I'm not interested you see Augusta Georgia is just no place to be I think Jamaican in the moonlight Sandy beaches drinkin' rum every night We got no money momma but we can go We'll split the difference go to Coconut Grove Keep on talkin' momma I can't hear Your voice it tickles down inside of my ear I feel a tropical vacation this year Might be the answer to this hillbilly beer I think Jamaican in the moonlight Sandy beaches drinkin' rum every night We got no money momma but we can go We'll split the difference go to Coconut Grove Voila! An American Dream Well we can travel girl without any means When it's as easy as closin' your eyes And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign Just keep talkin' momma I like that sound It goes so easy with that rain fallin' down I think a tropical vacation this year Might be the answer to this hillbilly beer, and Voila! An American Dream Yeah we can travel girl without any means When it's as easy as closin' your eyes And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign Just think Jamaican in the moonlight Sandy beaches drinkin' rum every night We got no money momma but we can go Split the difference go to Coconut Grove From: "David Hayman"
