Mark Lindsay - Miss America lyrics

rate me

As a young girl she ran wild

Freely gave herself to men who understood

She lay naked in the sun

Giving birth to what was clear and strong and good

Oh lord to you her life

Wants to know a joy that drove her soul insane

And she'd lead you down a path

Through a river love was etched in summer rain

Do you miss America

Miss America

Miss America

I know I do

She was offered jewels and feathers

And she wore the clothes of souls who once she loved

She was driven to the site

Of a marble grave for a dying dove

Rage exploded cross her face

And makeup melted on the cemetery lawn

And she cried for the rest

And she wrapped her fingers round the deep blue stone

Do you miss America

Miss America

Miss America

I know I do

I've seen her in the forest

And she sings the peaceful songs for you and me

And I've heard her in the hills

And I'm glad to say she's still alive and free

Oh lord her loving eyes

Cast in ripples 'neath the sun without a sound

And she never spreaded sky

As her children dance along the rain washed ground

Do you miss America

Miss America

Miss America

I know I do

Do you miss America

Miss America

Miss America

I know I do

Do you miss America

Miss America

Miss America

I know I do
