    12) American Tune (Live)

    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 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 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
    And 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
    We come on the ship that sailed the moon
    We come in the age's most uncertain hours
    and sing an American tune
    Oh, and it's alright, 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
