Back In The Usa - Chuck Berry

Back In The Usa

Chuck Berry

(Chuck Berry, Chess 1729, 1959)

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today
We just touched down on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from overseas to the USA

New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Let alone just to be at my home back in ol' St Lou

Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of 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 café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the USA

Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA
Yes I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA
Anything you want, we got right here in the USA
