lyrics

I've never been here before
This place I don't even know
Lordy, where did I go?
Where did I go?

I came to California
About 20 years ago today
Woulda never thought I'd stay here
In good ol' U.S.A.

And my Momma, she's against it
I tell her she don't understand
Why all the gold and diamonds
Could never make me leave my land

And now I'm stuck in this place
And I don't know a face
It's a wild goose chase in here
In here

My neighbor grows his own potatoes
And dear Sally's working at the zoo
Ain't a thing that could go wrong here
And baby that's the truth

Catch me cruisin' all across the highway
In the hottest piece of muscle around
And all my friends will be there
Darlin', I won't let you down

Now I seen a show on Broadway
And gone huntin' all around the West
I've climbed the Rocky Mountains
And I'm on to do the rest

And my mom, she's still against it
She'll never change her mind a single way (no she won't)
'Bout how I learned to love to live in
The U.S.A., yeah the U.S.A.
Yeah the U.S.A, yeah the U.S.A.
