Yeah, uh!
Get up, now!
Ow!
Knock out this!
Super highways, coast to coast, easy to get anywhere
On the transcontinental overload, just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel
When there's no destination - that's too far
And somewhere on the way, you might find out who you are
Chorus:
Living in
America - eye to eye, station to station
Living in
America - hand to hand, across the nation
Living in
America - got to have a celebration
Rock my soul
Smokestack, fatback, many miles of railroad track
All night radio, keep on runnin' through your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners keep you awake, hey, on black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk the fine line, you might take the hard line
But everybody's working overtime(chorus)
I live in
America, help me out, but
I live in
America, wait a minute
You might not be looking for the promised land, but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like
New
Orleans (
New

Detroit
City (

Dallas (

Living in

America - state lines, gonna make the prime, that
I live in
America - hey,
I know what it means,
ILiving in
America -
Eddie
Murphy, eat your heart out
Living in
America - hit me,
I said now, eye to eye, station to station
Living in
America - so nice, with your bare self
Living in
America -
I feel good!
