American Tune

－＝ Darrell Scott 《 American Tune 》＝－

Manys the time Ive been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and Ive often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh, but Im all right, Im all right
Im just weary to my bones
Still, you dont expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from home,
So far away from home

And I dont know a soul whos not been battered
I dont have a friend who feels at ease
I dont know a dream thats not been shattered
or driven to its knees
but its all right, its all right
We lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road were traveling on
I wonder whats gone wrong
I cant help it, I wonder whats gone wrong

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

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages most uncertain hours
and sing an American tune
And Its alright, its all right
You cant be forever blessed
Still, tomorrows going to be another working day
And Im trying to get some rest
Thats all Im trying to get some rest
