Bon Jovi - Made In America lyrics

R.sambora<br><br>Made in america<br>Nineten fifteen nine<br>Born down by the factories<br>Cross the jersey city line<br>Raised on radio<br>Just a jukebox kid<br>I was alright<br>Just a small town homeboy<br>With big time dreams<br>Foollowing his conscience<br>In a world full of extremes<br>Fresh outta high school<br>Only seventeen<br>I was alright<br>Blinded by my vision<br>There ws just no turning back<br>Lika a runaway train<br>Life was steaming down the track<br>You'd say I'd never make it out<br>But I kept on hanging on<br>Every night I prayed to jesus<br>And held my head up strong<br>I was alright<br>I landed on my feet<br>Made in america<br>I was brought up on the street<br>My old man's independence<br>Seemed good enough for me<br>I was made in america<br>Made in america<br>Never cared much about politics<br>Til I was twenty one<br>But I woke up when lennon<br>Found the wrong end of a gun<br>He left his inspiration<br>Before he said boodbye<br>And we were alright<br>We all lose out innocence<br>It's impossible to hold<br>I didn't know it then<br>I had a packet full of gold<br>When I kissed those younger days goodbye<br>It almost broke my heart<br>I was going to ghrough my growing pains<br>I was driving in the dark<br>But I was alright<br>I landed on my feet<br>Made in america<br>I was brought up on the street<br>I'm facing up to freedom<br>And chacing down my dream<br>I was made in america<br>Yeah I was made in america<br>Yeah we all lose our innocence<br>It's impossible to hold<br>I just didn't know it then<br>I had a packet full of gold<br>When they said I'd never make it<br>I just kept on hanging on<br>And every night I prayed to jesus<br>And I held my head up strong<br>And I was alright<br>I landed on my feet<br>Made in america<br>I was brought up on the street<br>Facing up to who I am<br>Chasing down my dream<br>I was made in america<br>Yeah I was made in america
