about
The Lost Ark Studio presents "The American Dream" by Annie McQueen, the latest single from the Lost Ark Studio Compilation - Vol. 09. Enjoy!
Decadent and charmingly delightful, glam-pop Americana chanteuse Annie McQueen has the laid-back air of alt-country royalty.
Instead of writing a quintessential black-and-white country love song, McQueen says she likes to write songs that play up the grey areas of relationships. “My definite writing style is that there’s something in you that’s broken, but you’re going to be fine. It’s not a huge deal.” - Nadia Noir, KROQ Los Angeles
lyrics
Annie McQueen - The American Dream
You can buy me that big white house
You can hand me my dreams
You can love me like no one else
But you can’t have me
God knows
This aint the life that I want most
It shines but it’s shattered
And I know it won’t be good till I’m gone.
Strange Bars
Searching the room for a new start
But you can’t find love if you hate who you are
And you’ll pass the time til it’s gone
You can buy me that big white house
You can hand me my dreams
You can love me like no one else
But you can’t have me
I can’t
Even pretend that I want that
You’ll keep on runnin til you can’t come back
But you’ll never know til you’re gone.
You can buy me that big white house
You can hand me my dreams
You can love me like no one else
But you can’t have me
You can buy me that big white house
The American Dream
You can love me like no one else
But you can’t have me
No you can’t have me
