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've 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 dyin'

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And lookin' back down at me

Smiled reassuringly

And I dreamed I was flyin'

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

The Statue of Liberty

Sailing away to sea

And I dreamed us flyin'

We come on a ship they called Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hour

And sing on American tune

But it's all right, it's all right, it's all right

We can't be forever blessed

Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day

And I'm tryin' to get some rest

That's all I'm tryin' to get some rest
