"Back In The USA" lyrics

Back In The USA

Oh well, oh well
I feel so good today
We just touched ground
On an international runway
Jet-propelled back home
From overseas to the USA

New York, Los Angeles
Oh, how I yearn for you
Detroit, Chicago
Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
God, I long just to be at my home
Back in old Saint Lou

Did I miss the skyscrapers?
Did I miss the long freeway
From the coast of California
To the shores of the Delaware Bay?
You can bet your life I did
Till I got back to the USA

Looking hard for a drive-in
Searching for a corner cafe
Where hamburgers sizzle on
An open grill night and day
Yeah, and the jukebox jumping
With records back in the USA

I'm so glad
I'm living in the USA
Yes, I'm so glad
I'm living in the USA
Anything you want
We got it right here in the USA

Ah, we're so glad
We're living in the USA
Yes, we're so glad
We're living in the USA
Anything you want
We got it right here in the USA

Ah, we're so glad
We're so glad
Ah, we're so glad
We're so glad
