AMERICA - 1960 lyrics

rate me

How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960<br>I watched the fins of the cadillac fall<br>I remember dad explained about the berlin wall<br><br>How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble<br>That was brewing in the asian way<br>I wore a smile like the faces that surround l.a.<br><br>In the city of the lost and found<br>It's hard to get a break<br>Hard to stop from getting turned around<br>And make the same mistakes<br><br>My reputation's on the line<br>The final day of '59<br>But like the sun, just watch me shine<br>Today<br><br>How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso<br>I practiced 61 minutes a day<br>I could never reach the keys<br>But it was all ok<br><br>How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother<br>That could brighten up the darkest nights<br>It's just another sign of love<br>Whenever we would fight<br><br>It's all the same twenty years ago<br>As it is right now<br>Like a tour at the closing show<br>When I take my bow<br><br>My reputation's on the line<br>At the start of '79<br>But like the sun, just watch me shine<br>Today<br>I've played this part so many times<br>Since the end of '59<br>But like the sun, just watch me shine<br>Today
