Got a one way ticket
down a two way street
Got the wind in my hair
And there's dust on my feet
I'm just trying
to make it in America
Only thing to my
name is an old t-shirt
Faded 1985 from
a Stones' concert
And I'm dying
to make it in America
And I'm singing the words
to my favorite song
With the rag top down
and my glasses on
And I'm driving
straight through America
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that
I am not the only one
And I
I wanna show some skin
Yeah baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now
I've got my heart in motion
I want to make it in America
Make it in America
I can see my
star sunset and vine
Gonna carve my name
in the Hollywood sign
Yeah I gotta
Gotta make it in America
See me wearing a smile
even if I'm broke
I'll be singing the words
from a song I wrote
And I call it
Make it in America
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that
I am not the only one
And I
I wanna show some skin
Yeah baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now
I've got my heart in motion
I want to make it in America
Make it in America
I can feel the sweat
dripping down my face
I can hear my heart
as it starts to race
Yeah sometimes this world's
such a lonely place
If I just push on I know that
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that
I am not the only one
And I
I wanna show some skin
Baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now
I've got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
