Ain't getting old,
    ain't getting younger though
Just getting used
    to the lay of the land
I ain't tongue-tied,
    just don't got nothin' to say
I'm proud to be livin' in the U.S.A.

Ready to go, willin' to stay and pay
U.S.A., U.S.A.
So my sweet love can dance
    another free day
U.S.A., U.S.A.

In history we painted pictures grim
The devil knows
    we might feel that way again
The big wind blows,
    so the tall grass bends
But for you don't
    push too hard my friend.

Ready to go, willin' to stay and pay
U.S.A., U.S.A.
So my sweet wife can dance
    another free day
U.S.A., U.S.A.

Got people here
    down on their knees and prayin'
Hawks and doves
    are circlin' in the rain
Got rock and roll,
    got country music playin'
If you hate us, you just
    don't know what you're sayin'.

Ready to go, willin' to stay and pay
U.S.A., U.S.A.
So my sweet love can dance
    another free day
U.S.A., U.S.A.
