Back in the U.S.A.

Lyrics

[Intro] "Back in the U.S.A.," by Chuck Berry As done by The Modern Lovers One, two One, two, three [Verse 1] Oh well, oh well I feel real good today You see, we just touched ground On an international runway Jet-propelled back home to the USA [Verse 2] New York, Los Angeles You know that I yearned for you And Detroit, Chicago Chattanooga, Baton Rouge Oh, not to mention bein' home in Boston, Massachusetts [Verse 3] I'll tell you something Now did I miss the skyscrapers And the long freeways? From the coast of California To the shores of the Delaware Bay Oh, yes I did, until I got back in the USA Rock a while, let's go! [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Well, take me to a drive-in Take me to a corner café Where hamburgers sizzle On an open griddle night and day I wanna see a jukebox jump with records in the USA Let's talk about it [Verse 5] You see, I'm so glad I was brought up in the U.S.A., oh yeah Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A., it's true Whatcha want, we got it right back in the U.S.A Maxwell, look out! [Instrumental] [Verse 6] Just take me to a drive-in Any little corner café I wanna hear hamburgers sizzle On an open griddle, night and day I wanna see a jukebox jump with records in the USA, let's go [Outro] Well, I'm so glad I'm a-livin' in the USA, oh yeah Well, I'm so glad I was brought up in the USA, I am 'Cause whatcha want, whatcha want, it's here in the USA
