Bm D
I dreamed I was dying in Texas
Bm D
I closed my eyes and I signed
Bm D
Like a black and white movie I saw my days
G Bm
Playing out before my eyes
D Bm
I was crippled by a life of injustice

I plead guilty on a day of judgement

D Bm
Used up every dollar I earned
D Bm
So I went back to the home of my father
D Bm
And said "your American son has returned"
G A
"Dad your American son has returned" ... and he said
