lyrics
[Intro]
ugh huh huh oh yeah
ugh huh huh oh yeah
ugh huh huh oh yeah
oh yeah oh yeah
[Verse 1]
Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from over the seas to the U. S. A.
New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you
Well Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Let alone just to be at my home back in ol' St. Lou.
[Break -- Piano Solo]
[Verse 2]
Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of the Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back in the U. S. A.
Alright
[Break -- Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Rock and roll soda-pop rocking in the U.S.A.
All the way from Houston, Texas way in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A.
ugh huh huh oh yeah
ugh huh huh oh yeah
ugh huh huh oh yeah
oh yeah oh yeah
[Verse 1]
Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from over the seas to the U. S. A.
New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you
Well Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Let alone just to be at my home back in ol' St. Lou.
[Break -- Piano Solo]
[Verse 2]
Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of the Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back in the U. S. A.
Alright
[Break -- Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Rock and roll soda-pop rocking in the U.S.A.
All the way from Houston, Texas way in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A.
