John Stewart - Rock 'n' Roll Nation lyrics

His mother was the Mississippi delta, yeah His father was the alligator blues He was born in a studio in Memphis His mother was the blue suede shoes And he's ours all the way, yeah He was born in the U.S.A. And he come from a guitar playing country He was raised on Cadillacs and dreams When he started playing 'Whole Lotta Shaking' Coming apart at the seams And he's ours all the way He was born in the U.S.A. Living in a rock 'n' roll nation Living in our own creation Living is our coronation Living in a rock 'n' roll nation Every kid in every household in the country Had a .45 lying in his room Singing Jim Dandy to the rescue Could raise a dead man from his tomb And he's ours all the way, yeah He was born in the U.S.A. Living in a rock 'n' roll nation Rocking is our destination Rocking is our fortification Living in a rock 'n' roll nation Every kid who was born in the 50's When Elvis was the king of the scene Jerry Lee was playing the piano Chuck Berry singing Maybellene Been living in a rock 'n' roll nation Rocking is a realization Don't need no justification Living in a rock 'n' roll nation Damn I'm living in a rock 'n' roll nation Living in our generation we got an infatuation Living in a rock 'n' roll, living in a rock 'n' roll Living in a rock 'n' roll nation, rock 'n' roll nation Living in a rock 'n' roll nation Living in a rock 'n' roll nation Living in a rock 'n' roll nation
