Linda Ronstadt, Chuck Berry and Keith Richards – Back In The USA

ByEditor

Linda Ronstadt, Chuck Berry and Keith Richards performing “Back In The U.S.A.” at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis. From the film “Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n’ Roll” Directed by Taylor Hackford.

This is how it’s done. No costume changes, big dance numbers, pyrotechnics, or lip syncing. This is when musicians love and respected each other’s talents! What a great performance amongst the best of musicians!

Three legends on one stage! Doesn’t get any better than this!

Lyrics:
Come on out here Linda Ronstadt
Back in the U.S.A.
Come on darlin’

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today
Just touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from overseas to the U.S.A.

New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
How I long just to be at my home back in ol’ St. Lou

Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, ’til I got back to the U.S.A.

Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner cafe
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A.

I’m so glad I’m livin’ in the U.S.A.
I’m so glad I’m livin’ in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got them right here in the U.S.A.

I’m so glad I’m livin’ in the U.S.A.
I’m so glad I’m livin’ in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A.

I’m so glad
I’m so glad
I’m so glad
I’m so glad
