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

Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Well they said
goodbye to their families
said goodbye
to their friends
With pipe dreams
in their heads
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 heads
full of dreams
turned the world
upside down
There was Frankie Lyman
Bobby Fuller, Mitch Ryder
Jackie Wilson, Shangra
Las, Young Rascals
Spotlight on Martha
Reeves
let's don't forget
James Brown
