- Lyrics:
I’m a just keep watching
I think my hearts stopping
Nicotine fiend of a man
I was born this way
I’m government slave and
I was raised on stolen land
It’s a hard up kind of life
Begging the ashtray for nickels and dimes
Writing these songs trying to wrap my mind
around a bullshit American Dream
I’m still a six-gun owning
Bet the truth hurts don’t it
Won’t you catch me if you can
I hope all is well It’ll be a cold day in hell
When you pry it from my dying hands
‘Cause it’s a hard up kind of life
When paying your dues don’t get you by
You’re working all week to make some overtime
To pay for this bullshit American Dream
I’ve heard once to be dreaming means you’ve got to be asleep
And I’ve grown tired of counting these sheep
I had a dream I was drugged and when I finally woke up
I went and blew up my TV
‘Cause it’s a hard up kind of life
When you’re not allowed to get a natural high
Here’s a pill to help you sleep just give it some time
Now you’re addicted to this bullshit American Dream
It’s a hard up kind of life
Begging the ashtray for nickels and dimes
Writing these songs trying to wrap my mind
around a bullshit American Dream

I got halfway through, grabbed a beer from the fridge and re started it. Beautiful man.
I'm a log hauler, this song is 100% truth in every word!
If this isn’t the best country song of 2020 it’s top 3. THIS IS COUNTRY! Good, honest writing.
Don't skip over WV when you start touring. You'll get a lot of love in the rural areas here ♥️
Absolutely!
as a person born and raised in central appalachia, i relate to this song so hard. thank you for bringing the real ‘american dream’ to other people’s attention.
Southern Appalachia here.... I relate as well to the point it hurts down in my bones.
Oh I think it’s got the attention from the rite crowd. Can say much for the rest of em. Shit happening today , just ain’t no words for.
We will have a great future, love your music.
Thank you!
Came here from TikTok and this is what I look for in country music
Same here brother
Check out if you haven't already tyler childers. Colter wall. Lost dog street band. I can give you more if you want
Honestly sad that we have to say we came from TikTok lol
Me too! Love him!
SAME HERE!!! Great voice!!!❤
This song hit me way to hard. I showed it to my father and now he sends me your songs to listen too.
Give this dude a record deal !!!!
Had to come here to comment.. ‘not allowed to get a natural high, but here’s a pill to help you sleep just give it some time’
This song is very well written. All facts.
I listen to this on the way to work all the time. I work skilled labor but it's not paying the bills these days and the most simplistic American dream of buying a small house and some land to raise a family on seems to have been taken from us. It's at the point where us good ole boys who rather be honest men and work for what we want how we were raised to do will have to become goons in order to feed our families.
America is a bullshit debt slave state on its way to ruin.
Yep we aren’t far off from that I’m afraid
So much truth in this song, great voice and songwriting. True artist aren't appreciated like they should be.
I can see his music being featured on Yellowstone!
been listening to this a lot lately. my aunt & uncle have been in the ICU with covid, we just lost my uncle. if my aunt lives through her treatment she'll be working paying back the ambulance rides and hospital stays the rest of her life. american nightmare
I say this every day!! Thank you from a blue collar brotherhood
Just happened to hear these songs and I can’t stop listening. God Bless and Good Luck!
Heard it on spotify radio yesterday, played it over 100x already. Keep up the work🤙🏻
Damn I cried this is such a beautiful and truthful song that spoke to my very soul
I found this song on tik tok a couple days ago and have listened to it probably 50+ times truly a great song man
Forget Oliver, this guys true American country! 👍
Found this man last night and im in love. Him and Tyler childers are my favorites.
I was most definitely late for this one but man I love this song it popped up on my Spotify one day at the gym n it has been my go to ever since
HOW ARE YOU NOT FAMOUS YET. Just discovered you and fell in love.
What the actual hell? Drayton, you are incredible, man. Just found this today and can't find a song I don't love on Spotify. Telling everyone I know.
10/10 song, not sure how it hasn’t blown up yet, but I’m sure it will soon, keep it up man! Good job
It is truth
this man is going places! love your music man!
Love it brotha🤙
Glad tic tok brought me across you. Subbed, keep doin your thing brother!
Hi I'm Nick and I'm addicted to this Bullshit American dream!
Man there's a lot of different parts of different songs where you kinda give me some Slaid Cleaves vibes and I gotta say I dig it.
Slaid Cleaves was always the truth doubled down!
Hot damn that’s what I’m talking about!
Best thing I have heard in years. Keep doing you bro.
This song has so much meaning to it coming from a native
This song should've blown up before Oliver Anthony.
120 hours every two weeks to barley scrape by 👍
I found you on TikTok and I just hate that it’s taken me this long. Your music is incredible and tells the stories that country music is supposed to tell. How it was in the beginning… how it’s meant to be. -a hillbilly girl with disdain for the govmunt ♥️
Glad to see 50k views for you! Congratulations! Great songs.
I love this.
Okay was gonna a day ago but I was driving but damn good man damn good stay picking hope you go far this is gold
This is so fantastic!!🥰
Sounds fantastic! You favor Tyler Childers sound alot I dig it

Can’t wait for you to get big, definitely underrated
Wow. Love it!
Please come to Missouri when you tour ty!

Killer song, cuts deep brother!
Nice! I hope you do not give up on chasing your dream. You've got the talent, no doubt about it.
Damn great song, keep it up

My favorite singer
I discovered you after seeing your name on Alvarez's website. This is the first song I came across... I love it! I see similarities in your music and mine... guess your a new found inspiration.
Keep it up buddy! 🤙🤘
Wow so awesome 😊 🧡
Oh yeah he gets it...
This song is all truth
Love 👍
Omg 😲 😱 😲 😱
I’m new to the country song fan base, but dang was i missing! Good song. Think I’m on my third listening strike lol
🔥🔥🔥
bad ass
Only 18 and already feel like 40 with the way I drink and work 40+ a week.
♥️🙌
I want this to blow up so bad.
🔥✨🔥✨
God damn this a fucking great song!!!!!
😍😍
This is beautiful! So glad you're keeping that bullshit Americana alive! I'm trying to learn this on the guitar and am having trouble transcribing the intro and interlude riffs, any help would be much appreciated!
Does anyone know the chords to this song
dare i say your up there with tyler childers and colter wall?
This song fucks
😎
Coming back a year later because I just seen your TikTok and it’s still bullshit. Keep on keepin’ on man.
Dislikes are commies
This combat vet agrees.
raised on stolen land? cuz it definitely ain't America you're talkin about lmaoo
Bahahahaha
Hmm, you must have missed the part in history class where you learned that the colonists migrated to NA, formed a government and then proceeded to cede and occupy the land - through bullshit treaties.
In fact, America was stolen and then built up by slaves who were stolen from THEIR country. So, double whammy I guess.
Good song, but what does he mean raised on stolen land? Lmao, hopefully not the same BS the natives always "cry" about in Canada when the matters of facts and history clearly show it all. There's a great clip going around from a movie where the union General clearly spells it out for the indian tribal chief.
Still, it's a great song, and I enjoy listening to it in my play list
Edit the sound bro.. beautiful song but there ain't nothing about this dream that's B's..
Kind of negative aren’t you?
No hes just straight up real! Has soul and truth 🖤
Lol you're mumbling in your sleep. It's called the american dream because you need to be asleep to believe it
Yes always the only bullshit way to sing it.
You sound good but no Sturgill Simpson for sure
Hell, please come to Milwaukee and play! Also, this is some real redneck music. I mean that in the best way…. like Blair Mountain Way. Solidarity and resist this bullshit that we have to go through every day.
Dislikes are commies
u either aint listening to the lyrics or dont know what a commie is if u think theyre at odds in anyway
