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 America
Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt
Faded 1985 from a stones concert
And I´m dying to make in America
And I´m singing the words to my favorite song
With the rag top down and my glasses on
And I´m driving straight through America
I wanna taste the sun
Baby I´m born to run
I got a feeling that imp not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah baby I need the ocean
And you can 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 America
See 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 America

I wanna taste the sun
Baby I´m born to run
I got a feeling that I´m not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin
Baby I need the ocean
And you can stop me now I´ve got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America
Make it in America

I can feel the sweat dripping down my face
I can hear my heart as it starts to race
Yeah sometimes this worlds such a lonely place
If I just push on I know that

I wanna taste the sun
Baby I´m born to run
I got a feeling that I´m not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin
Baby I need the ocean
And you can stop me now I´ve got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
