American Tune Lyrics

Many's, the time I'v been mistaken And many times confused
Yes, and 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 We've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what went wrong I can't help it, I wonder what went wrong
And I dreamed I was dying And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me Smiled reassunngly
And I dreamed I was flying And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty Sailing away to sea
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
