American Dreamer Lyrics - Laura Nyro

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 

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 

Didn't you know 

American dreamer 

Flyin' high 

And down through America 

America 

America
