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 trying to make it in America
Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt
Faded 1985 from a stones concert
And I'm dying to make it in America
And I'm singing the words to my favorite song
With the rag top and down and my glasses on
And am driving straight through America
CHORUS
I wanna taste the sun
Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that am not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah, baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I’ve got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
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 wearing a smile, even if am broke
I'll be singing the words from a song I wrote
And I called it make it in America
I wanna taste the sun
Cause baby am born to run
I got a feeling that am the only one
I wanna show show some skin
Yeah baby I need the ocean
And you can’t stop me now I’ve got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
I can feel the sweat dripping down my face
I can hear my heart as it starts to race
Yeah sometimes this world such a lonely place
If I just push on I know that
I wanna taste the sun
Cause baby an born to run
I got a feeling that I'm not the only one
I wanna show some skin yeah baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America make it in aMERICA
