Bon Jovi - Made In America lyrics

R.sambora Made in america Nineten fifteen 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 time dreams Foollowing his conscience In a world full of extremes Fresh outta high school Only seventeen I was alright Blinded by my vision There ws just no turning back Lika 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 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 boodbye And we were alright We all lose out innocence It's impossible to hold I didn't know it then I had a packet full of gold When i kissed those younger days goodbye It almost broke my heart I was going to ghrough 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 chacing down my dream I was made in america Yeah i was made in america Yeah we all lose our innocence It's impossible to hold I just didn't know it then I had a packet 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
