| She was a Midwestern prom queen | |
| Got her boyfriend headed out west | |
| They ended up in the valley | |
| In a one room apartment, a disconnected phone, yeah | |
| Now five years later she's single | |
| She's got two kids and a note | |
| And if she gets a moment to herself | |
| She can remember how everything used to go her way | |
| She says | |
| Where did the time go | |
| When everything was simple and free? | |
| I want to know what happened | |
| Somebody woke me before I could have my American dream | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah | |
| For twenty years he worked corporate | |
| He planned to early retire | |
| His CEO, he stole a billion dollars | |
| Now he's working at Denny's hoping for a raise | |
| He thinks | |
| Where did the time go | |
| When everything was simple and free? | |
| I want to know what happened | |
| Somebody woke me before I could have my American dream | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah | |
| I'm a little bit rebel, I'm a bit patriot | |
| I can see they're both sides of the coin | |
| But still it gets a bit rough an' everything is screwed up | |
| Guess it'­s just the American way | |
| Sometimes I wonder how you are | |
| You're up in New York City with a family | |
| I think I could have been your guy | |
| It's just a moment in time that is slipping on away | |
| Where did the time go | |
| When everything was simple and free? | |
| I want to know what happened | |
| Somebody woke me before I could have my American dream | |
| Where did the time go? | |
| (My American dream) | |
| Where did the time go? | |
| (My American dream) | |
| Where did the time go? | |
| (My American dream) | |
| Where did the time go? | |
| (Yeah, yeah, yeah) | |
