Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today, 
We touched ground on an [bad word] 
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 ol' 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. 

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

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