"American Tune" is a Paul Simon song. The girls have been performing   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
