R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. Lyrics
They come from the cities
And they come from the smaller towns
Beat up cars with guitars and drummers
Goin crack boom bam
[Chorus]
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!
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands
Some are black and some are white
Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight
With the blind faith of Jesus you know that they just might, be
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Hey!
Voices from nowhere
And voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams
Turned the world upside down
There was Frankie Lyman - Bobby Fuller - Mitch Ryder
(They were Rockin')
Jackie Wilson - Shangri-Las - Young Rascals
(They were Rockin')
Spotlight on Martha Reeves
Let's don't forget James Brown
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Hey!
[Chorus]
And they come from the smaller towns
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, Yeah!
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Said goodbye to their friends
With pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands
Some are black and some are white
Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight
With the blind faith of Jesus you know that they just might, be
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Hey!
And voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams
Turned the world upside down
(They were Rockin')
Jackie Wilson - Shangri-Las - Young Rascals
(They were Rockin')
Spotlight on Martha Reeves
Let's don't forget James Brown
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Hey!

Homage to 60's rock and the folks who tried. Some succeeded and some failed.
Beat sounds like it was stolen from 'What I Like About You,' which came out first and is, in my opinion, a better song anyhow. Song sounds so forced, unlike some other tributes to stars of the past. Blech.
