American Tune Lyric by Willie Nelson

American Tune Lyric

by Willie Nelson

Lyric:



Many's The Time I've Been Mistaken And Many Times Confused

Yes And I've Often Felt Forsaken And Certainly Misused

Oh But I'm Alright I'm Alright 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



Don't Know A Soul Who Has Not Been Battered

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

Oh But It's Alright It's Alright 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 Dying I Dreamed That My Soul Rose Unexpectedly

Looking Back Down At Me Smiled Reassuredly

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 Flying



We Come On The Ship They Call The Mayflower Come On The Ship That Sails The Moon

We Come In The Age's Most Uncertain Hours And Sing An American Tune

Oh But It's Alright It's Alright 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
