I will always love you Uncertainty I love you Spacious skies I love you I'll find new ways to love you All these miles of ghostly west The Hopis lost to Spain Now belong to me I'm the American I could be a cowboy Or just a hired hand Twisters come in April And rearrange the land Pick me up and throw me west A thousand miles from home Dreaming up my fix I'm the American
Abilene, old New Mexico High and dry Flagstaff Arizone Cool water Sipping silver stream This is my American dream I know a squaw in Winslow Who swears by candlelight She said she'd leave the back door Open tonight Three weeks pay will keep me off The wrong side of the law Dreaming up my fix Getting somewhere quick I'm the American And I'll always love you
