Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' back to New York City
Times Square sure will be shinin' bright
I know it sure looks pretty
But I don't go down every night
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna take in Memphis
You know the one down in Tennessee
And if you wanna boogie
Now, that's the place to be
[Verse 3]
Sittin' in a bar in Macon
Drinkin' something called Rebel Yells
When I thought I heard someone ringin'
I guess she's a southern bell
[Verse 4]
We just cut out of El Paso
It just fries there in that desert sun
And if you've ever been down there, man
Then you know why we run
[Verse 5]
I've got jet lag
And livin' out an overnight bag
Time changes every day
They do things a different way
Back in the USA
[Verse 6]
Tryin' hard to make a phone call
Long distance over seas
Yes, ma'am, I did say Scotland
Could you spell that again for me please?
[Verse 7]
Way down west to Colorado
You know that it just blew my mind
I'd love to go back there next trip
I sure hope we get some time
[Verse 8]
I've got jet lag
And livin' out an overnight bag
Time changes every day
They do things a different way
Back in the USA
[Verse 9]
Drivin' down a Detroit freeway
Just lookin' at those concrete walls
Hey, but it's a good town to rock'n'roll in
What do you mean the police closed the goddamned hall?
[Verse 10]
Flyin' home tomorrow
Get to be there's gonna be just great
But after some time with my lady
I'm gonna be back to rock 'n' roll in the States
[Verse 11]
I've got jet lag
And livin' out an overnight bag
Time changes every day
They do things a different way
Back in the USA
