American Dreamer - Laura Nyro

American Dreamer - Laura Nyro
Autumns child is catching hell
For having been too nave to tell
Property rights from chapel bells
There's nothing we can do
We could not get there in time
It's too late
She signed on the dotted line
Oh shoot em up cops and robbers
Oh America
The manager smiled
He said
We're gonna straighten this mess
He had a picture of Spot
And Jane on his desk
So I signed his strange contract
With the transparent lines
There's nothing we can do
We could not get there in time
It's too late she signed on the dotted line
Oh shoot em up cops and robbers
Oh America America
The lawyers cried through the telephone rings
The doctors sighed She's imagining things
When he came through
The window with those crazy eyes
Dick Tracy in disguise
He said You need a guiding hand
You're soft and you're fine
Sign here on the dotted line
Oh big deals cops and robbers
Oh America
I am your rose American dreamer
Flying high and down through America
Oh
Oh American dreamer oh America
Didn't you know American dreamer
Flying high and down through America
America America America America
