Jonathan Richman Back In The Usa
(back in the usa by Chuck Berry, as done by the Modern
Lovers, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3)
Oh well, oh well, I feel real good today,
you see We touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, to the usa
New York, Los Angeles, you know that I yearned for you
and Detroit, Chicago, and Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
not to mention me at home in Boston Massastu-sus
(I'll tell you somethin)
now Did I miss the skyscrapers, and the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of the
Delaware Bay
oh yes I did, till I got back to the usa
(rock a while, let's go)
Well take me to a drive-in, take me to a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open griddle night and
day
I wanna see a juke-box jump with records in the usa
(let's talk about it)
you see, I'm so glad I was brought up in the usa, oh
yea
I'm so glad I'm livin' in the usa, its true
what you want, we got right back in the usa
??? look out
just take me to a drive-in, any little corner café
I wanna hear hamburgers sizzle on an open griddle night
and day
I wanna see a juke-box jump with records in the usa
let's go
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the usa, oh yea
well. I'm so glad I was brought up in the usa, I am
cause what you want, what you want, it's here in the
usa
