Brown, James - Living In America Lyrics






Yeah, uh! Get up, now!
Ow! Knock out this!

Super highways, coast to coast
Easy to get 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 to 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, hey
On black coffee and a hard roll

You might have to walk the fine line
You might take the hard line
But everybody's working overtime

Living in America
Eye to eye, station to station
Living in America
Hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America
Got to have a celebration

I live in America, help me out
But I live in America
Wait a minute

You may not be looking 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 P.A. (Pittsburgh P.A.)
New York City (New York City)
Kansas City (Kansas City)
Atlanta (Atlanta)
Chicago and L.A.

Living in America - hit me
Living in America - yeah
I walk in and out
Living in America

I live in America - state lines
Gonna make the prime, that
I live in America - hey
I know what it means, I

Living in America
Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out
Living in America
Hit me, I said now
Eye to eye, Station to station
Living in America
So nice, with your bad self
Living in America - I feel good!

    I think the lyrics should be updated :

    Mass shootings coast to coast just easy to get killed anywhere
    On the transsexual overload; just take a dick
    How does it feel when there's no real jobs available
    And somewhere on the way you might find out how much you owe the banks?
    Living in America, eye to eye, meth house to meth house
    Living in America, dick to ass across the nation
    Living in America, got to have a hamburger!
    I live in America
    I live in America
    You may not be looking for poverty
    But you might find it anyway
    Under one of those old familiar names, like
    New Orleans
    Dallas
    Detroit City
    Pittsburgh, P.A.
    New Orleans
    Dallas
    Detroit City
    Pittsburgh, P.A.
    New York City
    Atlanta
    Kansas City
    New York City
    Atlanta
    Kansas City
    Chicago and L.A.
    Living in America, eye to eye, meth house to meth house
    Living in America, dick to ass across the nation
    Living in America, got to have another hamburger!

  56. J.... N....

    I saw this in the theaters during Rocky IV and at the time I did not appreciate it. Plus it was during the Reign of the Purple One (my boy). Now it is 2019 and I like pretty much ALL music. I binge watched WATCHMEN and there was a scene when this was played. I was like "this song is actually good! The hell was wrong with me? Oh yeah I was young, no $$$ and into Prince!" 😎 why haven't I heard this at more Weddings/ Parties etc? Better than that Electric Slide crap.

  57. R.... N....

    Love the song, if you are American you feel the lyrics and live for it .

  58. N.... R....

    I was playing this song in Bombay. I'm now in Detroit.

  67. M.... F....

    Everybody I love my America ..
    - that's why I listen to this song often ....
    ••• I love our Star Spangled Banner and Francis Scott Key, my hat is off to you ...
    I, We all Americans love you and the dedication, service and the great poem, that became the Star Spangled Banner...
    --- but there is just something about This Song, James Brown singing it, the way it makes me feel as an American born and raised ..
    I think this song should be played instead of or immediately following Francis Scott Keys Star Spangled Banner....
    --- this song makes me wanna go drop bombs on any country talking shit, punch an ungrateful f0reigner right in his or her mouth ...
    -- especially at the 2:00 mark ..
    When he says "I live in America" ... I raise my hands and sing along smiling and smug , we are the greatest nation on Earth .....

    M.... T....

    @MEME MASTER I didnt know I was talking to a child ...
    --- frankly you shouldn't he on the internet interacting with anyone at 9 years old ..
    Where are your damn parents....
    -- now I'm more pissed they have allowed their 9 year old child onto the internet unsupervised ..
    -- so I'm sorry , I cant and will no longer talk to you..
    I hope you understand that, and frankly I'm upset that your parents have allowed you to be on the internet..
    -- please stop interacting with people in the internet for now ..
    Wait till you get older, with that hope everything works out for you ...hopefully the world and the UK get better (Conservative Won yeah I guess)
    But please stop interacting on the internet for now ...

    M.... T....

    Trumps 2020 anthem 🇺🇸👍🏼

  81. A.... G....

    I remember watching Rocky IV and when I have heard the line that Rocky's spokesman said to Drago's spokesman: "At least we do not put our people in concentration camps"
    And I instantly stood up and said loud: "How about the Native Americans? Guess they ain't people to you?"
    And I am not America hater, Russian, Commie, I do not say Russians didn't put people to camps, I just like to see the full picture of things. All did both good and bad.
