back in the u.s.a.

oh well

oh well

i feel so good today

we just touched ground 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

'til i got back to the usa

looking hard for a drive-in

searching for a corner cafe?

where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day

yeah

and a jukebox 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

they got it right here in the usa

i'm so glad i'm livin' in the usa

yes

i'm so glad i'm livin' in the usa
