Lyrics

AMERICAN REFUGEE
Breaking his back for the minimum wage
On his feet too long for his age
When you’re down on your dreams
You still have to live, you still have to eat
Working for years in a hair salon
He knows he can’t continue going on

American Refugee

His health is failing and he’s all alone
If he can’t work, he will lose his home
His rock n’ roll career didn’t go as he planned
Fizzling out in the haircut band
When you’re down on your dreams
You still have to live, you still have to eat
There’s only one option for the rest of his days
He must leave for Panamanian ways

American Refugee

Up in the mountains he meets a young girl
Falling in love - Panamanian world
They live with her family and kiss in the rain
He shows her new comforts, and she does the same
When you’re down on your dreams
You still have to live, you still have to eat
He’s so happy with his new life now
Up in the mountains way down south

American Refugee
