Lyrics

They come from the cities
They come from the smaller towns
And beat up cars with guitars and drummers
Goin' crack boom bam

R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A., yeah
Rockin' in the U.S.A.

Well they said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With the pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands

Well, some are black and some are white
And ain't to proud to sleep on your floor tonight
With blind faith of Jesus you know that they just might
Rockin' in the U.S.A., hey
Alright

Voice from nowhere
And voices from the larger town
Filled our head full of dreams
Turned our world upside down

There was Frankie Lyman, Bobby Fuller, Mitch Ryder
(They were rockin')
Jackie Wilson-Shangra-Las-Young Rascals
(They were rockin')

Spotlight on Martha Reeves
Let's don't forget James Brown
Rockin' in the U.S.A., hey

R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A.

R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A.

R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A.

R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A.
R O C K in the U.S.A.

Yeah, yeah
Let's hear it boy
Yeah
