He was in love with the danger baby He hits the road leaves everything he knows and says "I don't care" No fear will contain him he's born ready Holes in his pocket the dream hit him like a rocket He was made in America She was working the nightshift daily Wishing on a star she's wrapped in her lover's arms so far from here Fantasy interrupted by her boss screaming Quits slamming the door says "I don't need this no more" She was made in America A state of "mine" bubbling inside like a bullet to my head When opportunity comes you better take it and run or be left for dead Where we all come first where the truth don't hurt For better or for worse we were made in America See the ads on the TV and the magazines Uncle Sam reaching out with his hand saying "I want you" The children are laughing who they fighting Soldiers march in line leave opinions behind They were made in America
