Shamus M'Cool – American Memories lyrics
We got trucks and trains
Cars and planes
We even put a man on the moon
Yet we've had riots and slaves
Shameful days
The sad American tune
But I read in a book
About when the world shook
World wars one and two
Yeah, what did we get
Abuse and neglect
From pullin' the free world through
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
I remember the day
That jfk
Left America cryin'
I remember the day
I heard a President
Yes, I do resign
We've had great depressions
And phony recessions
The energy crisis?
But through it all
We've grown so tall
The greatest race on Earth
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
Ahhh, we struggled through the tough times
We laughed through the fun
American memories
We survived each and every one
I remember Disney
Donald and Mickey
Fantasy come true
Open road?
King Elvis it seemed
Made fantasy turn blue
Yet I read in the paper
And Hope told a joke
Some?
We've gone from Uncle Miltie
To Here's Johnny
Keepin' us up at night
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
I remember Sinatra
The Beatles and opera
And Dylan in the wind
The underdog dreams
The Celtic teams
And another Nichlaus win
Many great men
George, Abe, and Ben
The farmer, the teacher, the free
Yeah I read in a book
About when the world shook
Come on and sing along with me
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
Cars and planes
We even put a man on the moon
Yet we've had riots and slaves
Shameful days
The sad American tune
But I read in a book
About when the world shook
World wars one and two
Yeah, what did we get
Abuse and neglect
From pullin' the free world through
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
I remember the day
That jfk
Left America cryin'
I remember the day
I heard a President
Yes, I do resign
We've had great depressions
And phony recessions
The energy crisis?
But through it all
We've grown so tall
The greatest race on Earth
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
Ahhh, we struggled through the tough times
We laughed through the fun
American memories
We survived each and every one

American memories
Go back when we were a child
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
American memories
Land of honey and wild
American memories
Go back when we were a child
