bon jovi - made in america lyrics
r.sambora
made in america
nineteen fifty nine
born down by the factories
cross the jersey city line
raised on radio
just a jukebox kid
i was alright
just a small town homeboy
with big time dreams
following his conscience
in a world full of extremes
fresh outta high school
only seventeen
i was alright
blinded by my vision
there was just no turning back
like a runaway train
life was steaming down the track
you said i’d never make it out
but i kept on hanging on
every night i prayed to jesus
and held my head up strong
i was alright
i landed on my feet
made in america
i was brought up on the street
my old man’s independence
seemed good enough for me
i was made in america
made in america
never cared much about politics
till i was twenty one
but i woke up when lennon
found the wrong end of a gun
he left his inspiration
before he said boodbye
and we were alright
we all lose out innocence
it’s impossible to hold
i didn’t know it then
i had a pocket full of gold
when i kissed those younger days goodbye
it almost broke my heart
i was going to through my growing pains
i was driving in the dark
but i was alright
i landed on my feet
made in america
i was brought up on the street
i’m facing up to freedom
and chacing down my dream
i was made in america
yeah i was made in america
yeah we all lose our innocence
it’s impossible to hold
i just didn’t know it then
i had a pocket full of gold
when they said i’d never make it
i just kept on hanging on
and every night i prayed to jesus
and i held my head up strong
and i was alright
i landed on my feet
made in america
i was brought up on the street
facing up to who i am
chasing down my dream
i was made in america
yeah i was made in america
