American Tune Lyrics

American Tune

Many's the time I've been mistaken and many
times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
But I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be
Bright and bon vivant

So far away from home,so far away from home

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or
driven to its knees

But it's all right, it's all right
For we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road
We're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong

And I dreamed I was dying
And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiling reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And hight upon me my eyey could clearly see
The Starue of Liberty
And I dreamed I was flying

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
And sing an American Tune
But it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day

And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest
