John Stewart Lyrics
"Rock 'N' Roll Nation"

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
