An American Tune



I don't know a soul who's not been battered
Don't have a friend who feels at ease
Don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to it's knees
But it's all right, all right
We've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what went wrong

And I dreamed I was dying
And far above, my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Drifting away to sea

We come on a ship we call the Mayflower
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come at the age's most uncertain hour
And sing the American tune
But it's all right, it's all right
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.
