Had a .45 lying in his room
Living in a rock 'n' roll nation
Been living in a rock 'n' roll nation
Living is our coronation
Living in our generation we got an infatuation

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation
Living in a rock 'n' roll, living in a rock 'n' roll
Every kid in every household in the country
Living in a rock 'n' roll nation
Living in a rock 'n' roll nation
Living in a rock 'n' roll nation
And he's ours all the way, yeah
And he's ours all the way
He was born in the U.S.A.
Living in our own creation
He was raised on Cadillacs and dreams
Rocking is our destination

When Elvis was the king of the scene
Don't need no justification
He was born in a studio in Memphis
Could raise a dead man from his tomb
And he's ours all the way, yeah
And he come from a guitar playing country
Jerry Lee was playing the piano
Rocking is our fortification

He was born in the U.S.A.
Living in a rock 'n' roll nation, rock 'n' roll nation

When he started playing 'Whole Lotta Shaking'
Chuck Berry singing Maybellene
Rocking is a realization

Coming apart at the seams
Singing Jim Dandy to the rescue
His mother was the blue suede shoes

Living in a rock 'n' roll nation
He was born in the U.S.A.

Every kid who was born in the 50's
Living in a rock 'n' roll nation
Living in a rock 'n' roll nation

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