It’s a long fast dance
|
Well the long fast dance of progress
|
And the long slow waltz of decay
|
Made such a natural born couple
|
They settled down right here in the USA
|
Dream home for two in the USA
|
Hot jazz, cool blues, we got country
|
We get rock and roll all day
|
Like to dance, come on down get funky
|
That’s the way, that's the way
|
That’s the way, hey hey, in the USA
|
There’s still cowboys and indians (indians) at home on the range
|
But the cowboys and indians have changed — they’ve changed
|
Cowboys and indians have changed
|
We’ve got James Dean on the silver screen
|
We’ve got James Brown he won’t let you down
|
Now Elvis was the king of rock and roll
|
We got preacher men who want to save your soul
|
Got the motorcity with the Motown beat
|
Get hip to the beat on the hip hop street
|
Stars and bars and the biggest cars
|
And a rocket ship take you up to Mars
|
There’s the east coast trip where it’s real uptight
|
Where you work all day and you play all night
|
And the west coast side with the laid back scene
|
When you just lay back and it seems like a dream
|
There’s a lot of places in between
|
There’s Hollywood and the city by the bay
|
And the whole damn south down Louisiana way
|
That’s the way, that's the way, hey hey, in the USA
|
There’s still cowboys and indians (indians) at home on the range
|
But the cowboys and indians have changed — they’ve changed
|
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
|
The cowboys and cowgirls and indians have changed
|
Baby baby baby
|
That’s the way that’s the way that’s the way in the USA…
|
Cowboys and indians…
|
In the USA… |
