Got a one way ticket down a 2 way street
Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet
I'm just trying to make it in AmericaOnly thing to my name is an old t-shirt
Faded 1985 from a Stones' concert
And I'm dying to make it in AmericaAnd I'm singing the words to my favorite song
With the rag top down and my glasses on
And I'm driving straight through AmericaI wanna taste the sun
Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that I'm not the only oneI, 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 want to 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 AmericaSee me wearin' a smile, even if I'm broke
I'll be singing the words from a song I wrote
And I called it Make It In AmericaI wanna taste the sun
Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that I'm not the only oneI, I wanna show some skin
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 AmericaI can feel the sweat dripping down my face
I can hear my heart as it starts to race
Yeah sometimes this world's such a lonely place
If I just push on I know that
I wanna taste the sun
Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that I'm not the only oneI, I wanna show some skin
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
