Back In The USA Lyrics

(Back in the USA by Chuck Berry, as done by the Modern Lovers, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3)



Oh well, oh well, I feel real good today,

You see we touched ground on an international runway

Jet propelled back home, to the USA



New York, Los Angeles, you know that I yearned for you

And Detroit, Chicago, and Chattanooga, Baton Rouge

Not to mention me at home in Boston Massachussets



(I'll tell you somethin)



Now Did I miss the skyscrapers, and the long freeway?

From the coast of California to the shores of the Delaware Bay

Oh yes I did, till I got back to the USA



(Rock a while, let's go)



Well take me to a drive-in, take me to a corner café

Where hamburgers sizzle on an open griddle night and day

I wanna see a juke-box jump with records in the USA



(Let's talk about it)



You see, I'm so glad I was brought up in the USA, oh yea

I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA, its true

What you want, we got right back in the USA



(Look out )



Just take me to a drive-in, any little corner café

I wanna hear hamburgers sizzle on an open griddle night and day

I wanna see a juke-box jump with records in the USA



Let's go

Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA, oh yea

well. I'm so glad I was brought up in the USA, I am

cause what you want, what you want, it's here in the USA
