                                  *****


        Ow!, Knock me out, Yeah!

        Super highways, coast to coast
        Easy to get anywhere
        On the trans continental, 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 to 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 and roll soul
        All night diners keep you awake
        On black coffee and a hard roll

        You might have to walk a fine line
        You might take the hard line
        everybody's workin' overtime

        Living in America, eye to eye, station to station
        Living in America, hand to hand, across the nation
        Living in America, got to have a celebration,

        I live in America...
        I live in America...
        Wait a minute,

        You may not be looking for the promised land
        But you might find it anyway 
        Under one of those old familiar names like:-

(Spoken)
        New Orleans, Detroit City
        Dallas, Pittsburgh, P.A
        New York City, Kansas City
        Atlanta, Chicago and L.A.
