Lyrics
JOHN LENNON SONGWRITING AWARD WINNER
AMERICAN JONES (6:00)
I'm a fan, glad to be part of it
New York man, right in the heart of it
Love that sound, mood-art of it
Dig it - deep in my bones
Sweet American Jones
Uncle Sam, wants you all to be
Free to jam, in a democracy
It's not so, but it's gonna be
Dig it- deep in your bones
Sweet American Jones
BRIDGE
Bein' true to the red, white and blue
You do your thing
Shine your little light right on thru
When the band begins to swing
Join the club, you will be noodlin'
There's the rub, we're Yankee Doodlin'
Heart and soul, start usin' em
Dig it- deep in your bones
Sweet American Jones
