American Tune - Paul Simon

Many’s the time I’ve been mistaken\nAnd many times confused\nYes, and often felt forsaken\nAnd certainly misused\nOh, but I’m alright, I’m alright\nI’m just weary to my bones\nStill, you don’t expect to be\nBright and bon vivant\nSo far a-way from home, so far away from home\nI don’t know a soul who’s not been battered\nI don’t have a friend who feels at ease\nI don’t know a dream that’s not been shattered\nor driven to its knees\nOh, but it’s alright, it’s alright\nfor we lived so well so long\nStill, when I think of the\nroad we’re traveling on\nI wonder what’s gone wrong\nI can’t help it, I wonder what’s gone wrong\nAnd I dreamed I was dying\nI dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly\nAnd looking back down at me\nSmiled reassuringly\nAnd I dreamed I was flying\nAnd high up above my eyes could clearly see\nThe Statue of Liberty\nSailing away to sea\nAnd I dreamed I was flying\nWe come on the ship they call the Mayflower\nWe come on the ship that sailed the moon\nWe come in the a-ge's most uncertain hours\nand sing an American tune\nOh, and it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright\nYou can’t be forever blessed\nStill, tomorrow’s going to be another working day\nAnd I’m trying to get some rest\nThat’s all I’m trying to get some rest
