An American Tune |
| Many’s the time I’ve been mistaken |
| And many times confused |
| Yes, and I’ve often felt forsaken |
| And certainly misused |
| Oh, 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 |
| 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 |
| Oh, but it’s all right, it’s all right |
| For 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’s gone wrong |
| And I dreamed I was dying |
| And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly |
| And looking back down at me |
| Smiled reassuringly |
| And I dreamed I was flying |
| And high above my eyes could clearly see |
| The Statue of Liberty |
| Sailing away to sea |
| And I dreamed I was flying |
| Oh, 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 |
| Oh, it’s all right, it’s all right |
| 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 |
