American Hearts

They were married in September back in 1969

They travelled, these two Indians,

To find some peace of mind

They stood for love and freedom

They were children of their time oh oh

They lived in a world that was cold and uncaring

They swore they would change it

with loving and shareing

They'll never live like their parents have done

Their innocence shone like the sun

American hearts, so filled with emotion

American hearts, so easily broken

Now they've got a family and a cottage in the hills

He's always working late to pay the mortgage and the bills

And she has trouble sleeping

So the doctor gives her pills oh oh

Who are these strangers who used to be lovers

Now they've got nothing to say to each other

Too far apart to discuss their mistakes

They filed for divorce and it breaks their

American hearts, so fiIled with emotion

American hearts, so easily broken

Ah - American hearts

Ah - American hearts, American hearts

Now that it's over they'll each go on living

Never forgetting but somehow forgiving

They'll care for their children protect them with pride

And that's how their dream will survive in

American hearts, so filled with emotion

American hearts, so easily broken

American hearts, so filled with emotion

American hearts, so easily broken
