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 Massastu-sus

(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 cafe
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

My turn, look out

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

Lyrics

Well are you ready?
Well are you ready to go?
We're going to rock and roll now and it won't be slow
Cause we rock this way in the usa

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We just touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from overseas to the usa

Well New York, Los Angeles, you know that I yearned for you
Well now Detroit, Chicago, and Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Not to mention me back home in Boston Massatus

Well now, did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of the Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back in the usa

All right Leroy, tell them

Any little drive-in, any little corner cafe
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open griddle night and day
I want to hear the juke-box jump with records in the usa

Well now, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the usa
Now I'm so glad I'm livin' in the usa
Cause everything you need is there in the usa

Leroy

Where hamburgers sizzle on the open griddle night and day
And there's a juke-box jumping with records in the usa

From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back to the U S A

Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner caf?
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the USA

Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA
Yes I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA
Anything you want, we got right here in the USA
