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
Livin' in America
Eye to eye station to station
Livin' in America
Hand to hand
Across the nation
Livin' 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
On a black coffee
and a hard roll
You might have
to walk the fine line
you might take the hard line
But everybody's workin'
overtime
Livin' in America
Eye to eye station to station
Livin' in America
Hand to hand
Across the nation
Livin' in America
Got to have a celebration
I live in America help me out
I live in America
Wait a minute
You might not be
lookin' for the promised land
But you might find it anyway
Under one of those
old familiar names
Like New Orleans
Detroit City
Dallas
Pittsburg PA
New York City
Kansas City
Atlanta
Chicago and LA
Livin' in America
Hit me
Livin' in America
Livin' in America
Hey I know what it means
I live in America state lines
With your bad self
I live in America
Eddie Murphy
eat your heart out
Livin' in America
I feel good
