Indigo Girls - American Tune lyrics

it since at least 1985. A live version of it appears on the (promo-only) "Reverse 1" CD, and another on the (commercially available, but kinda hard to find) "Ben and Jerry's Newport Folk Festival '90" CD. Many is the 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 who feels 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 travelling on I wonder what's gone wrong I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong. And I dreamed I was dying 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 dying. Oh, we come on a ship they called the Mayflower We come on a ship that sailed the moon We come in the age's most uncertain hour And sing an American tune Oh, oh, but it's all right - 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
