| 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 |
