Laura Nyro American Dreamer Lyrics

American Dreamer Lyrics

Autumn's child is catchin' hell

For having been too naïve 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

Flyin' high and down  through America



Oh, American dreamer, oh, America

Didn't you know American dreamer?

Flyin' high and down through America

America, America, America, America
