R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. (A Salute to 60’s Rock) Lyrics By John Mellencamp

    they come from the cities and they come from the smaller towns
    beat up cars with s and drummers going crack boom bam

    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa yeah yeah
    rocking in the usa

    well they 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
    they ain’t too proud to sleep on your floor tonight
    with the blind faith of jesus you know that they just might
    rocking in the usa
    hey

    voices from nowhere and voices from the larger town
    filled our head full of dreams and turned our world upside down
    and there was frankie lymon bobby fuller mitch ryder
    they were rocking
    jackie wilson shangrilas young rascals
    they were rocking
    spotlight on martha reeves let’s don’t forget james brown

    rocking in the usa
    hey
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
    rock in the usa
