Back in the U.S.A. by Chuck Berry
As done by The Modern Lovers
One, two
One, two, three
Oh well, oh well, I feel real good today
You see, we just touched ground on an international runway
Jet-propelled back home to the U.S.A.
New York, Los Angeles, you know that I yearned for you
And Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Oh, not to mention Belmont in Boston, Massachusetts
I'll tell you something
Now, did I miss the skyscrapers and the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay
Oh, yes, I did until I got back to the U.S.A.
Rock 'em wild, let's go
ย
Well, take me to a drive in, take me to a corner cafรฉ
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
I wanna see a jukebox jump with records in the U.S.A.
Let's talk about it
You see, I'm so glad I was brought up in the U.S.A., oh yeah
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A., it's true
What you want? We got it right here in the U.S.A.
Maxwell, look out!
ย
Just take me to a drive in, any little corner cafรฉ
I wanna hear hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
I wanna see a jukebox jump with records in the U.S.A.
Let's go
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A., oh yeah
Well, I'm so glad I was brought up in the U.S.A., I am
'Cause what you want? What you want? It's here in the U.S.A.
