"Living In America" Lyrics

Get up!

Ow!

Knock you out, yeah

Superhighways, coast to coast
Easy takin' 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

(Living in America) Eye to eye, station to station
(Living in America) Hand in hand, across the nation
(Living 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 a fine line
You might take a hard line)
But everybody's workin' overtime

(Living in America) Eye to eye, station to station
(Living in America) Hand in hand, across the nation
(Living in America) Yeah, got to have a celebration

I live in America
I live in America
Wait a minute

You may not be lookin' for the promised land
But you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names

Like New Orleans (New Orleans)
Detroit City (Detroit City)
Dallas (Dallas)
Pittsburgh P. A. (Pittsburgh P. A)

New York City (New York City)
Kansas City (Kansas City)
Atlanta, yeah (Atlanta)
Chicago and L. A

(Living in America)
Hit me (Living in America)
(Living in America)

I live in America
Staying alive, we'll make the prime
I live in America, hey
I know what it means
I

(Living in America) Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out
Hit me
Hey!

(Living in America) Eye to eye, station to station
(Living in America) So nice, would you better stop?
(Living in America) I feel good!
