1960 Lyrics - America

How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960 

I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall 

I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall 

How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble 

That was brewing in the Asian way 

I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A. 

In the city of the lost and found 

It's hard to get a break 

Hard to stop from getting turned around 

And make the same mistakes

My reputation's on the line 

The final day of '59 

But like the sun, just watch me shine 

Today 

How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso 

I practiced 61 minutes a day 

I could never reach the keys 

But it was all OK 

How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother 

That could brighten up the darkest nights 

It's just another sign of love 

Whenever we would fight 

It's all the same twenty years ago 

As it is right now 

Like a tour at the closing show 

When I take my bow

My reputation's on the line 

At the start of '79 

But like the sun, just watch me shine 

Today 

I've played this part so many times 

Since the end of '59 

But like the sun, just watch me shine 

Today
