Billy Joe Shaver - America You Are My Woman lyrics

By your way, I've often traveled Magic mother of the pearl Watched your mysteries unravel While each foamy wave uncurled Neath' my soles the sands of freedom Fertile valleys, moutains high Blistered by the blazing sunshine Mellowed by the moonlight night Mighty measure of the Maker With your open arms unfurled America, you are my woman America, you are my world Many worlds and dreams I've traveled Sliding softly through the night Scanned through silicones and cycles Mirrored low your emerald life When my days on earth return to Dust from whence my body weighs Will my soul could always carry Where the Saint's first flight was made Mighty measure of the Maker With your open arms unfurled America, you are my woman America, you are my world
