Rock In The Usa Lyrics

Artist: John Cougar Mellencamp

R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.
John Cougar Mellencamp

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

Rockin' song.

by wolfe on 11/7/2011 4:49pm
hey Born in the Usa was a great song too. you shouldnt compare springsteen and mellencamp. Thats like comparing pink floyds the wall to the dark side of the moon. And Mellencamp kicks @$$!!

In the 80's it rocked, but it does not stand the test of time. Besides cougar is old and grouchy now.

your lyrics are wrong........do a little research next time. better yet, try listening 1 step closer to your speakers,jackass.

Can i bring up the chords with it

by Mort on 1/3/2015 12:47pm
This song rocks. The opening chords were appropriated by the Ramones. Hard to argue with that.

by Rockin C. on 4/24/2015 5:24pm
