Make It in America

Got a one-way ticket down a two-way street

Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet

I'm just tryin'

To make it in America

Only thing to my name is an old T-shirt

Faded 1985 from the Stones concert

And I'm dyin'

To make it in America

And I'm singin' the words to my favorite song

With the ragtop down and my glasses on

And I'm drivin'

Straight through America

I wanna taste the sun

'Cause baby, I'm born to run

I got a feelin'

That I'm not the only one, and I

I wanna show some skin

Yeah, baby, I need the ocean

Well, you can't stop me

Now I've got my heart in motion

And I wanna make it in America

Make it in America

I can see my star, Sunset and Vine

Gonna carve my name in the Hollywood sign

Yeah, I gotta

Gotta make it in America

See me wearin' a smile even if I'm broke

I'll be singin' the words from a song I wrote

And I called it

"Make It In America"

I wanna taste the sun

'Cause baby, I'm born to run

I got a feelin'

That I'm not the only one, and I

I wanna show some skin

Yeah, baby, I need the ocean

Well, you can't stop me

Now I've got my heart in motion

And I wanna make it in America

Yeah, make it in America

I can feel the sweat drippin' down my face

I can hear my heart as it starts to race

And sometimes this world's such a lonely place

If I just push on, I know that

I wanna taste the sun

'Cause baby, I'm born to run

I got a feelin'

That I'm not the only one, and I

I wanna show some skin

Yeah, baby, I need the ocean

Well, you can't stop me

Now I've got my heart in motion

And I wanna make it in America

Make it in America
