Living In America
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Superhighways - coast to coast - easy takin' 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 in 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
On a black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk a fine line
You might take a hard line
But everybody's workin' overtime
Living in America - eye to eye - station to station
I live in America - I live in America - wait a minute
You may not be lookin' for the promised land
But you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names like
New orleans - new orleans
Detroit city - detroit city
Dallas - dallas
Pittsburgh PA - pittsburgh PA
New York city - New York city
Kansas city - Kansas city
Atlanta - atlanta
Chicago and LA
Living in America - hit me - living in America - living in
America
I live in America - staying alive - we'll make the prime
I live in America - hey
I know what it means
Living in America - hit me - eye to eye - station to station
Living in America - so nice - would you better stop?
Living in America - I feel good
