    Lyrics »

Sometimes, early in the morning
Yeah, sometimes, when the world goes 'round
Well, there was one lie that I was believing, yeah
That dream girls never bring you down

And I know somebody's daughter
She didn't mean wrong when she said those things
She said that I was the oil on the water, yeah
She was an Angel who had found her wings

And when your love's gone
Early in the morning, yeah
And when your love's gone
Early in the day
And when your love's gone
Long around midnight, yeah
And when your love's gone
OK, it's the American way

Sometimes, early in the morning
Oh, sometimes, when the world goes 'round
And there was one lie that I was believing, yeah
That dream girls never bring you down

And when your love's gone
Early in the morning, yeah
And when your love's gone
Early in the day
And when your love's gone
Long around midnight, yeah
And when your love's gone
OK, it's the American way

And when your love's gone
Early in the morning, yeah
And when your love's gone
Early in the day
And when your love's gone
Long around midnight, yeah
And when your love's gone
OK, it's the American way

And when your love's gone
OK, it's the American way
And when your love's gone
OK, it's the American way
And when your love's gone
OK, it's the American way

John Stewart: "Started out as this Rock & Roll song, wound up as a ballad on Trancas. Found the old version and thought well that's the one isn't it!"
