  • I'm gonna make my way through this world someday
    I don't care what nobody say
    American dream, political scheme
    I'm gonna find out for myself someday
    But I'm half-lit, I can't dance for shit
    But I see what I want, I go after it
    And my girl's alright, treats me nice
    Sayin' nothin' but a woman puts out that light

    I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
    'Til I get it right

    Oh well, my baby no doubt dreams further out
    Makin' moves to get us someway someday
    Well my honey don't trip, shoots from the hip
    Tell me everything gonna be OK

    I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
    'Til I get it right

    Well, my mama so sad
    Daddy's just mad
    'Cause I ain't gonna have the chance he had
    My success is anybody's guess
    But like a fool, I'm bettin' on happiness

    I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right

    I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
    'Til I get it right Writer/s: THOMAS EARL PETTY
