Benny the boy was a lad from
and he danced in a worn out shoe
Had a hole in the seat of his pants
and he loved a girl named Sue
Benny and Sue didn't know what to do
cause their daddy didn't like young Ben
So they bought him a car and ran away
Made their way to wild Montana
where they had a child named Fontana
Young and happy, gifts God given
They were so in love and driven
To each other's arms alone
They were livin' in American
Eyes wide open like a child it seems
Livin' and lovin' in Amer
and some dreams do come true
Ben and Sue were still just children
An d they had to learn to handle
but that just made their love stronger
Ben and Sue and sweet Fontana
They were livin' an American dream
Eyes wide open like a child it seems
Livin' and lovin' an American dream
And some dreams do come true
Then worked hard and built a
near the clear blue water
I declare she had a halo,
They were livin' in American dreams
Eyes wide open like a child it seems
Livin' and lovin' an American dream
and some dreams do come true
I said Benny the boy was a lad from France
And he danced in a worn -out shoe
Had a hole in the sleeve of his pant
And he loved a girl named Sue
Young and happy, gifts got given
They were so in love and driven
To each other's arms so long
Eyes wide open like a child who'd seen
Livin' and lovin' an American dream
And some dreams do come true
Eyes wide open like a child who'd seen
Livin' and lovin' an American dream
But some dreams do come true
