Laura Nyro American Dreamer lyrics
Songwriters: Nyro, Laura
Autumnâs child is catchinâ hell
For having been too naïve to tell
Property rights from chapel bells
Thereâs nothing we can do
We could not get there in time
Itâs too late, she signed on the dotted line
Oh, shoot âem up cops and robbers
Oh, America
The manager smiled
He said, âWeâre gonna straighten this messâ
He had a picture of Spot and Jane on his desk
So I signed his strange contract with the transparent lines
Thereâs nothing we can do
We could not get there in time
Itâs too late, she signed on the dotted line
Oh, shoot âem up cops and robbers
Oh, America, America
The lawyers cried through the telephone rings
The doctors sighed, âSheâs imagining thingsâ
When he came through the window with those crazy eyes
Dick Tracy in disguise
He said, âYou need a guiding hand
Youâre soft and youâre fine, sign here on the dotted lineâ
Oh, big deals, cops and robbers
Oh, America
I am your rose American dreamer
Flyinâ high and down through America
Oh, American dreamer, oh, America
Didnât you know American dreamer?
Flyinâ high and down through America
America, America, America, America
