James Brown - Living In America lyrics

Your rating:
Yeah, uh! Get up, now! Ow! Knock out this! 

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 

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 

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 (New Orleans), 
Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas) 
Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.), 
New York City (New York City) 
Kansas City (Kansas City), 
Atlanta (Atlanta), Chicago and L.A. 

Living in America - hit me 
Living in America - yeah, 
I walk in and out 
Living in America 

I live in America - state lines, 
gonna make the prime, that 
I live in America - hey, 
I know what it means, I 

Living in America - Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out 
Living in America - hit me, I said now, eye to eye, 
station to station 
Living in America - so nice, with your bare self 
Living in America - I feel good!
