America - 1960 lyrics
How '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 '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 
 It's hard to get a break 
 Hard to stop from getting turned around 
 And make the same mistakes 
 My reputation's on the line 
 The final day of '59 
 But like the sun, just watch me shine 
 Today 
 How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso 
 I practiced 61 minutes a day 
 I could never reach the keys America - 1960 - http://motolyrics.com/america/1960-lyrics.html
 But it was all OK 
 How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother 
 That could brighten up the darkest nights 
 It's just another sign of love 
 Whenever we would fight 
 It'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 reputation's on the line 
 At the start of '79 
 But like the sun, just watch me shine 
 Today 
 I've played this part so many times 
 Since the end of '59 
 But like the sun, just watch me shine 
 Today
