Lyrics
[verse]
I remember the transistor up against my ear
Static and a heartbeat, that's all I could hear
Some song about a highway rolling on and on
Kept me up till midnight till the DJ was gone
[verse]
Every corner drugstore had a jukebox glowing
Every kid on the block had somewhere to be going
Guitars in the garage and drums in the yard
Nothing ever came easy but we played it hard
[chorus]
R-O-C-K in the U-S-A
Yeah that's where I come from, that's where I'll stay
Radio waves rolling coast to coast
It's the beat of a country I love the most
[verse]
Girls in the front row, boys with the amps turned high
Every summer anthem lighting up the sky
Doesn't matter what they're playing on the charts today
The old songs still get me, still find a way
[chorus]
R-O-C-K in the U-S-A
Yeah that's where I come from, that's where I'll stay
Radio waves rolling coast to coast
It's the beat of a country I love the most
[bridge]
From the diners to the drive-in, from the coast to the plain
Every town's got a heartbeat, every road's got a name
Turn it up, let it carry you home tonight
Rock and roll running underneath the streetlight
[chorus]
R-O-C-K in the U-S-A
Yeah that's where I come from, that's where I'll stay
Radio waves rolling coast to coast
It's the beat of a country I love the most
