Made In America |
Made in America |
Nineteen fifty nine |
Born down by the factories |
Cross the Jersey City line |
Raised on radio |
Just a jukebox kid |
I was alright |
Just a small town homeboy |
With big time dreams |
Following his conscience |
In a world full of extremes |
Fresh outta high school |
Only seventeen |
I was alright |
Blinded by my vision |
There was just no turning back |
Like a runaway train |
Life was steaming down the track |
You said I’d never make it out |
But I kept on hanging on Every night I prayed to Jesus |
And held my head up strong |
I was alright |
I landed on my feet |
Made in America |
I was brought up on the street |
My old man’s independence |
Seemed good enough for me I was made in America |
Made in America |
Never cared much about politics |
Till I was twenty one |
But I woke up when Lennon |
Found the wrong end of a gun |
He left his inspiration |
Before he said boodbye |
And we were alright |
We all lose out innocence |
It’s impossible to hold |
I didn’t know it then |
I had a pocket full of gold |
When I kissed those younger days goodbye |
It almost broke my heart |
I was going to through my growing pains |
I was driving in the dark |
But I was alright |
I landed on my feet |
Made in America |
I was brought up on the street |
I’m facing up to freedom |
And chacing down my dream |
I was made in America |
Yeah I was made in America |
Yeah we all lose our innocence |
It’s impossible to hold |
I just didn’t know it then |
I had a pocket full of gold |
When they said I’d never make it I just kept on hanging on And every night I prayed to Jesus |
And I held my head up strong |
And I was alright |
I landed on my feet |
Made in America |
I was brought up on the street |
Facing up to who I am Chasing down my dream |
I was made in America |
Yeah I was made in America |
