She's a local at the highway bar The Ford's on empty so she can't go far But it's just a quarter mile from the park so she straps on her shoes Slots spinnin one catches her eye Tonight she feels lucky but she don't know why She knows when she pulls down the arm there's no way she can lose God bless the American Dream Slide a few dollars in the slot machine And pray tonight's the night them sevens line up Less money than time to kill The doctor can't fix what the whiskey will But maybe tonight's the night them sevens line up It's only been an hour but it's all spent She knows that money coulda gone to the rent Then she remembers the coffee can filled up with change Don't do much just sits by the sink So she grabs her purse and she swallows her drink What's a rainy day fund good for if it never rains God bless the American Dream Slide a few dollars in the slot machine And pray tonight's the night them sevens line up Less money than time to kill The doctor can't fix what the whiskey will But maybe tonight's the night them sevens line up Eighteen dollars in nickels and dimes Won't even make it to closing time Don't really need that insulin Gotta sacrifice on a fixed income Eighteen dollars in nickels and dimes Won't even make it to closing time Don't really need that insulin Gotta sacrifice on a fixed income God bless the American Dream Slide a few dollars in the slot machine And pray tonight's the night them sevens line up Less money than time to kill Doctor can't fix what the whiskey will Maybe tonight's the night them sevens line up Yeah maybe tonight's the night them sevens line up Yeah maybe tonight's the night them sevens line up
