Rock In The Usa (a Salute To The 60s Rock) 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-Shangra-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:
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.
