Lyrics
Few years back across the heartland, Old Glory
Was a no-name kid from a no-name town
Learned the hard way about girls and money
Thought a lot about getting out
Now the radio spit fire from those cheap car stereo speakers
Calling him on from a place in the back of his mind
Left his folks for a life on the road
Never looked back, he was the traveling kind
And he was made in America
Let his dreams fade in America
On his knees straight in America
Chasing girls, getting slayed in America
Losing money getting paid in America
Watched the world afraid in America
He had nothing but his troubles in America
Got no safety being made in America
Most of the time he spent running around
Someone was telling to settle down
Disguise it with love and disguise up his sound
Come (partying) up his thought and then wonder what's next
So he found himself a girl and said
Hey mama, tell me do you think we could make it last
She looked away and let the silence speak for awhile
Said, I hate drinking (?) I can't stand talking about my past
And they were made in America
Let their dreams fade in America
On their knees straight in America
Loved each other, getting slayed in America
Lost good money getting paid in America
Watched the world afraid in America
They had nothing but their troubles in America
Got no safety being made in America
Let's float through time and space for a while
Every step he takes is a miracle mile
Standing, laughing in the midnight rain
Chained his heart to a runaway train
Religion disguised as a reason to fight
TV shows to keep you up all night
Found it best to just keep moving along
Step over it all, drown out the song
And he was made in America
Let his dreams fade in America
On his knees straight in America
Loving love, getting slayed in America
Losing money getting paid in America
Watched the world afraid in America
He had nothing but his troubles in America
Got no safety being made in the US of A
