Back to the USA Songtext
von Chuck Berry

Uh-huh-huh, oh yeah
Uh-huh-huh, oh yeah
Uh-huh-huh, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today (uh-huh-huh, oh yeah)
We just touched ground on an international runway (uh-huh-huh, oh yeah)
Jet-propelled back home, from overseas to the USA (oh yeah, oh yeah)

New York, Los Angeles, oh how I yearned for you (uh-huh-huh, oo-huh)
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge (uh-huh-huh, oo-huh)
Let alone just to be at my home back at old St. Lou (oo-huh, oo-huh)

Uh-huh-huh, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh-huh, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh-huh, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh-huh, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway? (Uh-huh-huh, oh yeah)
From the coast of California to the shores of The Delaware Bay (uh-huh-huh, oh yeah)
You can bet your life I did, till I got back in the USA (oh yeah, oh yeah)

Uh-huh-huh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Uh-huh-huh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Uh-huh-huh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner café (uh-huh-huh, oh yeah)
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day (uh-huh-huh, oh yeah)
Yeah, and a jukebox jumping the records like in the USA (oh yeah, oh yeah)

Well, I′m so glad I'm livin′ in the USA (a-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Yes, I'm so glad I'm livin′ in the USA (a-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Anything you want, we got it right here in the USA (oo-huh, oo-huh)

I′m so glad I'm livin′ in the USA (oo-huh, oo-huh)
Yes, I'm so glad I′m livin' in the USA (oo-huh, oo-huh)
