Made in America 
Nineteen fifty nine 
Born down by the factories 
Cross the Jersey City line 
Raised on radio 
Just a jukebox kid 
I was alright 

Just a small town homeboy 
With big dreams 
Following his conscience 
In a world full of extremes 
Fresh outta high school 
Only seventeen 
I was alright 

Blinded by my vision 
There was just no turning back 
Like a runaway train 
Life was steaming down the track 

You'd say I'd never make it out 
But I kept on hanging on 
Every night I prayed to Jesus 
And held my head up strong 

I was alright 
I landed on my feet 
Made in America 
I was brought up on the street 
My old man's independence 
Seemed good enough for me 
I was made in America 
Made in America 

Ad Libs 

Never cared much about politics 
'Til I was twenty-one 
But I woke up when Lennon 
Found the wrong end of a gun 
He left his inspiration 
Before he said goodbye 
And we were alright 

We all lose our innocence 
It's impossible to hold 
I didn't know it then 
I had a pocket full of gold 
When I kissed those younger days goodbye 
It almost broke my heart 
I was going through my growing pains 
I was driving in the dark 

But I was alright 
I landed on my feet 
Made in America 
I was brought up on the street 
I'm facing up to freedom 
And chasing down my dream 
I was made in America 
Yeah I was made in America 

Ad Libs

Yeah we all lose our innocence 
It's impossible to hold 
I just didn't know it then 
I had a pocket full of gold 

When they said I'd never make it 
I just kept on hanging on 
And every night I prayed to Jesus 
And I held my head up strong 

And I was alright 
I landed on my feet 
Made in America 
I was brought up on the street 
Facing up to who I am 
Chasing down my dream 
I was made in America 
Yeah I was made in America 
Made in America
