They come from the cities and they come from the smaller towns
beat up cars with guitars and drummers goin crack boom bam

R O C K in the USA
R O C K in the USA
R O C K in the USA

yeah yeah rockin in the USA

they said goodbye to their families said goodbye to their friends
with pipe dreams in their heads and very lil money in their hands
some are black and some are white
aint to proud to sleep on the floor tonight
with blind faith in jesus you know that they just might
rockin in the usa

HEY!

Voices from nowhere and voices from the larger towns
filled our heads full of dreams and turned our world upside down
there was frankie lymon,bobby fuller,mitch rider,they were rockin
jackie wilson,shangri las,young rascals,they were rockin,spotlight on Martha Reeves
and dont forget James Brown

rockin in the usa

HEY!

R O C K in the USA
R O C K in the USA
R O C K in the USA(repeat)
