American Tune
Indigo Girls
Manys a time i've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes and i've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh 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
I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend feels who at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to it's knees
Oh but it's all right
It's all right
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
High up above
My eyes could clearly see
The statue of liberty
Sailing away to sea
And i dreamed i was dying
Oh we come on a ship they call the mayflower
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages most uncertain hour
And sing an american tune
Oh but it's all right
It's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still 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
