American Tune

[Verse 1]

Many's the time I've been mistaken

And many times confused

Yes, and I've often felt forsaken

And certainly misused

Ah, but I'm alright, I'm alright

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

[Verse 2]

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 alright, it's alright

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

[Bridge]

And I dreamed I was dying

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And looking back down at me

Smiled reassuringly

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

[Verse 3]

Oh, we come on the ship we call the Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hours

And sing an American tune

Woah, and it's alright, oh, it's alright, it's alright

You can't be forever blessed

Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day

And I'm trying to get some rest

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