American Music

Lyrics

Well, a U.S. soldier boy On leave in West Berlin No music there that rocks Just a thousand violins They wanna hear some American music American music They wanna hear that sound Right from the U.S.A Well, it can be sweet and lovely It can be hard and mean One thing's for sure It's always on the beam They wanna hear some American music American music They wanna hear that sound Right from the U.S.A Well, it's a howl from the deserts A scream from the slums The Mississippi rollin' To the beat of the drums They wanna hear some American music American music They wanna hear that sound Right from the U.S.A We got the Louisiana boogie and the delta blues We got country, swing and rockabilly, too We got jazz, country western and Chicago blues It's the greatest music that you ever knew It's American music It's American music It's American music It's that crazy sound right from the U.S.A Well, a US soldier boy Has to stop right in his tracks When he hears that crazy beat He turns and doubles back Because they're playing American music American music How the whole world digs that sound From the U.S.A
