Back In The U.S.A.

Lyrics: Chuck Berry
Music: Chuck Berry

Sung by Anna Rizzo with Kingfish in the 1980s.

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today
We touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from over the seas to the U.S.A.

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

Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway
From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back to the U.S.A.

Well, I'm so glad that I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Yes, I'm so glad that I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A.

Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records back in the U.S.A.

Well, I'm so glad that I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Yes, I'm so glad that I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A.

Well, I'm so glad that I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Yes, I'm so glad that I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, they got it right here in the U.S.A.
