Kicking up dust on an empty street Waiting for John, Brian and Liz I've already been stopped by the police They're getting kicks, I'm feeling sick Chorus. And I'm thinking - thinking of the USA Thinking of the USA Dreaming of the USA 10.30 and the band is still not on the stage The kids are getting restless but all have to be paid I really think that I should not stay I need a rest .I need a drink Chorus. And I'm thinking - thinking of the USA Thinking of the USA Dreaming of the USA 12.45 at the Roxy Club And I'm tired of just hanging around I need some sleep, I am so tired All these people making crazy sounds Chorus USA-USA-USA-USA Chorus Walter Lure comes from the USA Lou Reed comes from the USA Richard Nixon comes from the USA Gary Gilmore came from the USA
