James Brown – Living In America: Lyrics and Music Video

Living In America Lyrics

Superhighways – coast to coast – easy takin’ anywhere
On the transcontinental overload
Just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel when there’s no destination that’s too far

And somewhere on the way
You might find out who you are

Living in America – eye to eye – station to station
Living in America – hand in hand – across the nation
Living in America – got to have a celebration – rock my soul!

Smokestack – fatback – many miles of railroad track
All-night radio keep on runnin’ through your rock’n’ roll soul

All-night diners keep you awake
On a black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk a fine line
You might take a hard line

But everybody’s workin’ overtime

Living in America – eye to eye – station to station

I live in America – I live in America – wait a minute
You may not be lookin’ for the promised land

But you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names like
New orleans – new orleans
Detroit city – detroit city

Dallas – dallas
Pittsburgh PA – pittsburgh PA

New York city – New York city
Kansas city – Kansas city

Atlanta – atlanta
Chicago and LA

Living in America – hit me – living in America – living in
America
I live in America – staying alive – we’ll make the prime
I live in America – hey
I know what it means

Living in America – hit me – eye to eye – station to station
Living in America – so nice – would you better stop?
Living in America – I feel good
