She was a midwestern prom queen Got a boyfriend headed out west They ended up in the valley In a one-room apartment, a disconnected phone, yeah Now 5 years later she's single She's got 2 kids and a note And if she gets a moment to herself She can remember how everything used to go away She says, [Chorus:] 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 20 years he worked corporate He planned to early retire His CEO, he stole a billion dollars Now he's working at Denny's hopin' for a raise He thinks [Chorus] I'm a little bit rebel, I'm a big patriot I can see both the sides of the coin But it still gets a bit rough, 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 the family I think I could have been your guy It's just a moment in time where it's slipping all away. [Chorus]
