Rock 'n' Roll Nation - John Stewart

His mother was the Mississippi delta, yeah

His father was the alligator blues

He was born in a studio in Memphis

His mother was the blue suede shoes

And he’s ours all the way, yeah

He was born in the U.S.A.

And he come from a guitar playing country

He was raised on Cadillacs and dreams

When he started playing 'Whole Lotta Shaking'

Coming apart at the seams

And he’s ours all the way

He was born in the U.S.A.

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation

Living in our own creation

Living is our coronation

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation

Every kid in every household in the country

Had a .45 lying in his room

Singing Jim Dandy to the rescue

Could raise a dead man from his tomb

And he’s ours all the way, yeah

He was born in the U.S.A.

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation

Rocking is our destination

Rocking is our fortification

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation

Every kid who was born in the 50's

When Elvis was the king of the scene

Jerry Lee was playing the piano

Chuck Berry singing Maybellene

Been living in a rock 'n' roll nation

Rocking is a realization

Don’t need no justification

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation

Damn I’m living in a rock 'n' roll nation

Living in our generation we got an infatuation

Living in a rock 'n' roll, living in a rock 'n' roll

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation, rock 'n' roll nation

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation
