America - 1960 Lyrics
How bout a tear for the year of 1960I watched the fins of the cadillac fallI remember dad explained about the berlin wallHow bout a tear for the torment and the troubleThat was brewing in the asian wayI wore a smile like the faces that surround l.a.In the city of the lost and foundIts hard to get a breakHard to stop from getting turned aroundAnd make the same mistakesMy reputations on the lineThe final day of 59But like the sun, just watch me shineTodayHow bout a cheer for the piano virtuosoI practiced 61 minutes a dayI could never reach the keysBut it was all okHow bout a cheer for the humour in my brotherThat could brighten up the darkest nightsIts just another sign of loveWhenever we would fightIts all the same twenty years agoAs it is right nowLike a tour at the closing showWhen I take my bowMy reputations on the lineAt the start of 79But like the sun, just watch me shineTodayIve played this part so many timesSince the end of 59But like the sun, just watch me shineToday
