[Verse 1]
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 a Stones' concert
And I'm dyin' to make it in America
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm singin' the words to my favorite song
With the rag top down and my glasses on
And I'm drivin' straight through America
[Chorus]
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause, baby, I'm born to run
I got a feelin' that I'm not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah, baby, I need the ocean
But you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
And I want to make it in America
Make it in America
[Verse 2]
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"
[Chorus]
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause, baby, I'm born to run
I got a feelin' that I'm not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah, baby, I need the ocean
But 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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause, baby, I'm born to run
I got a feelin' that I'm not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin (Show some skin)
Yeah, baby I need the ocean
But you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
And I wanna make it in America (Make it in America)
