BLUES TRAVELER - AMERICAN WAY Lyrics

In the picture is a tepeeI can handle this every dayI'm down here at johnny's restaurant, and soI don't care about em lagging in their wayOh, the principles of powerGrow balanced every yearThough i may not survive, it's the next manFor whom the crowd should cheerAnd this is the american wayYeah this is the american wayJust roll the dice, and we come to playGive me the american wayI could have come from swedenBut i would have gotten tiredAnd the struggle for my family's life or deathIt keeps my heart inspiredYes we like to face the gambleAnd we love to make the standAnd we worship in the shopping mallsWith lotto tickets in our handAnd this is the american wayYeah this is the american wayJust roll the dice, and we come to playGive me the american wayCall it a travesty or an empireBut i prefer to call it homeNo matter trod the horsemanWill soon become to romeI said maybe the rules are brokenBut tradition's kept aliveThere just isn't one miracleBut thirty little triesYeah, that's the american wayThis is the american wayYeah, this is the american wayAll the players have been played and played and playedThey love the american wayThat's why we want to stayGive up the american wayJust roll the dice and we come to play
