Living In America by James Brown
Super highways, coast to coast,
easy to get anywhere
On the transcontinental overload,
just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel
When there's no destination - that's too far
And somewhere on the way,
you might find out who you are
Living in America - eye to eye, station to station
Living in America - hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America - got to have a celebration
Rock my soul
Smokestack, fatback,
many miles of railroad track
All night radio, keep on runnin'
through your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners keep you awake,
hey, on black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk the fine line,
you might take the hard line
But everybody's working overtime
I live in America, help me out,
but I live in America, wait a minute
You might not be looking for the promised land,
but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans, Detroit City,Dallas, Pittsburgh P.A.
New York City, Kansas City, Atlanta, Chicago and L.A
Living in America - hit me
Living in America - yeah,
