Cruisin' down the boulevard where
Chrome was king in the street lights
Where dreams came true every Saturday night
Turning on the radio the nights just came alive
And we thought that life was just to drive
I want, I want to see the day
When we hold to our dreams
Not throw them all away
Once when we were young
We thought our dreams could be real
We packed them into American steel
Life was like a movie then but it was so damn real
We had a fire in our hearts an American steel
Rolling past the boneyard full of memories covered in dust
Forgotten relics that have all been left to rust
Found someone's old '57 someone's dream got thrown away
It makes me burn to see it here today
I want, I want to see the day
When we hold to our dreams
Not throw them all away
Once when we were young
We thought our dreams could be real
We packed them into American steel
Life was like a movie then but it was so damn real
We had a fire in our hearts an American steel
One look in the mirror to comb my hair
Turn the key and I don't care
About anything but miles and miles of road
I know I can't feel this way forever
But here and now I got it together
I got a fire in my heart and American steel
Don't you have any memories that you could never throw away
Something that makes you what you are today
I'm rolling past the graveyard of American dreams
Left to just fall apart at the seams
I want, I want to see the day
When we hold to our dreams
Not throw them all away
Once when we were young
We thought our dreams could be real
We packed them into American steel
Life was like a movie then but it was so damn real
We had a fire in our hearts an American steel
