(Lardie, Niven, Russell)



Well I used to work the graveyard

Used to have to paint the stones

Now I clean the farmyard

Have to lick it clean alone



I got a wife and kid

Sharin' an econoline

We keep the sucker hid

Underneath the Hollywood sign



You know I do all right

Oh yea and it's ok

I'd like to kill the light

I'd love to sleep all day



Livin' in a dream

Livin' in the U.S.A.

Livin' in a dream

Livin' in the U.S.A.



Then I used to have a penthouse

Used to have a wife like you

Now I keep the door locked

Her attorney's tryin' to break in too



Everyone's aboard

It's quite the social set

They leave me polaroids

Of everyone I never met



You know they do all right

It's the All-American way

They like to stay all night

The love to drink all day



Livin' in a dream

Livin' in the U.S.A.

Livin' in a dream

Livin' in the U.S.A.



Purple mountain majesty

Crumble into the sea

Spirit of the spacious skies

Shine your grace on me



Livin' in a dream

Livin' in the U.S.A.

Livin' in a dream

Livin' in the U.S.A.
