American Tune - Special Edition

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused

But I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm 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

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its 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 dyin'
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And lookin' back down at me
Smiled reassuringly

And I dreamed I was flyin'
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea

And I dreamed us flyin'
We come on a ship they called Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
And sing on American tune

But it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
We can't be forever blessed
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
And I'm tryin' to get some rest
That's all I'm tryin' to get some rest
