Living in America
|
James Brown
|
Music & Lyrics : C. Midnight - D. Hartman
|
Notes : From the movie "Rocky IV"
|
|
Yeah, uh! Get up, now! Ow! Knock out this!
|
|
Super highways, coast to coast,
|
easy to get 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
|
|
Chorus:
|
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 'n' roll soul
|
All night diners keep you awake,
|
hey, on black coffee and a hard roll
|
|
You might have to walk the fine line,
|
you might take the hard line
|
But everybody's working overtime
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
I live in America, help me out,
|
but I live in America,
|
wait a minute
|
|
You might not be looking 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)
|
Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.),
|
New York City (New York City)
|
Kansas City (Kansas City),
|
Atlanta (Atlanta), Chicago and L.A.
|
|
Living in America - hit me
|
Living in America - yeah,
|
I walk in and out
|
Living in America
|
|
I live in America - state lines,
|
gonna make the prime, that
|
I live in America - hey,
|
I know what it means, I
|
|
Living in America - Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out
|
Living in America - hit me, I said now, eye to eye,
|
station to station
|
Living in America - so nice, with your bare self
|
Living in America - I feel good!
