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
