America — 1960 lyrics

Lyrics

How Ђ™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 Ђ™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
ItЂ™s hard to get a break
Hard to stop from getting turned around
And make the same mistakes
My reputationЂ™s on the line
The final day of Ђ™59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
How Ђ™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 Ђ™bout a cheer for the humour in my brother
That could brighten up the darkest nights
ItЂ™s just another sign of love
Whenever we would fight
ItЂ™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 reputationЂ™s on the line
At the start of Ђ™79
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
IЂ™ve played this part so many times
Since the end of Ђ™59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
