American Tune

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Many's the time I've been mistaken And many times confused Yes, and I've often felt forsaken And certainly misused It's alright, it's alright 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 And I don't know a dream That's not been shattered Or driven to it's 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 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 dying We come on a ship they call the Mayflower We come on a ship that sailed the moon We come in the age's most uncertain hour And sing an American tune But it's all right, it's all right, all right You can't be forever blessed And 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
