NEW-YORK 1963~AMERICA 1968

When I get AMERICA
I say it blew my mind
When I get AMERICA
I say it blew my mind

The APPOLO theatre on 125th street
The place was closed it was pouring rain
I had feeling, I go there again
Taxi driver thought I was insane

Brown girl from Brox. showed me her home
We went there by subway train
She took me there time,time again
Love was our sweet song's game

When I get AMERICA
I say it blew my mind
When I get AMERICA
I say it blew my mind

Negro was my hero and leader
His stage taste they went turn me on some
I tried my best to sound just like him
When he moves, he moves like lightening

Across the world, the news was flashed
Country young leader was late to rest
Another ending of new beginning
Other cry, some were grinning

In central park, the children were playing
Behinds the bar, the tiger walked
Smiling young face of many of many color, many tough, being talked

Garuege line street of the village
Smiling face of unkown Bob Dylan
She was 16 young and so willing
Sudden violence, village killing

When I get AMERICA
I say it blew my mind
When I get AMERICA
I say it blew my mind
