American Tune — текст песни (Willie Nelson)

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 diven 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 travelin` 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 try to get some rest
That`s all I`m trying, to get some rest
