American Me Lyrics - Long In The Tooth - Billy Joe Shaver

American me, so wild and so free 

Crossing the borders did nothing to me 

The milk and the honey were power and greed 

That's how it goes, American me 

And the [?] sun rising slow in the morning 

Makes river lost low like the gold and a tanned hand is fast 

The children are waiting as Clement, they're washing their bodies 

And pitchers of wine in the bed by the old, the old ? 

Long years ago I was there with a Mexican lady 

A beautiful body, so graceful and ? sang 

A mission bells ranging, we both gave our hearts to each other 

Then we made love in the bed of the old ? 

American me, so wild and so free 

Crossing the borders did nothing to me 

The milk and the honey were power and greed 

That's how it goes, American me
