Miss America Lyrics - The Complete Columbia Singles - Mark Lindsay

As a young girl she ran wild 

Freely gave herself to men who understood 

She lay naked in the sun 

Giving birth to what was clear and strong and good 

Oh lord to hear her laugh 

Was to know a joy that drove a soul insane 

And she'd lead you down a path 

Through her river valleys etched in summer rain 

Do you miss America 

Miss America 

Miss America 

I know I do 

She was offered jewels and fame 

And she wore the furs of souls who once she loved 

She was driven to the site 

Of a marble grave where lay a dying dove 

Rage exploded cross her face 

And makeup melted on the cemetery lawn 

And she cried for the rest 

And she wrapped her fingers round the deep rose dawn 

Do you miss America 

Miss America 

Miss America 

I know I do 

I've seen her in the forest 

And she's singin peaceful songs for you and me 

And I've heard her in the hills 

And I'm glad to say she's still alive and free 

Oh lord her loving eyes 

Cast in ripples 'neath the sun without a sound 

And she mirrors aberrated sky 

As her children dance along the rain washed ground 

Do you miss America 

Miss America 

Miss America 

I know I do 

Do you miss America 

Miss America 

Miss America 

I know I do 

Do you miss America 

Miss America 

Miss America 

I know I do
