When our ship landed on that eastern coast
I started working for that old railroad
You couldn’t get yourself out of bed
So I tried to smile while you were depressed
Oh, America ain’t so bad
All I want is my lady to love me back
Oh, America ain’t so bad
So how could someone named Daisy
Be so sad
I used to sing while you were
Playing on the organ
Radio station in a shotgun house
You used to laugh while you were
Spying on the neighbors
Then something changed
It’s all silence now
It’s all silence now
It’s all silence now
It’s all silence
Maybe when I’m dead
You’ll be happy again
Take the bus to places
That you’ve never been
Maybe when I’m gone
Your garden will be green
Daisy looks so sad
And it’s all because of me
Oh, America ain’t so bad
All I want is my lady to love me back
Oh, America ain’t so bad
So how could someone named Daisy
Be so sad
Oh, America ain’t so bad
So how could someone named Daisy
Be so sad
