"American Tune" by Paul Simon

Manys the time Ive been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
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
Webe lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road
were traveling on
I wonder what went wrong
I cant help it, I wonder what went wrong

And I dreamed I was dying
And 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 hour
and sing an American tune
But its all right, 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
