I'm a rock and roll vagabond

I'm a streetwise runaway

Sixteen when I left home

And I don't regret it a single day

I'm a sucker for a loud guitar

Got one tatooed on my chest

It's hot July

My mouth's too dry



You know I'll be screamin

Hard rock summer

Hard rock summer



...

...

Hard rock summer in the USA



Hard rock summer in the USA



Got a job

It was so damn hard

Just workin' for the man

All year long I saved my pay

And I stashed it in a rusty can

...

And blew my head

Then he blew me out of town

I parked my van at the L.A. sand

California screamin'

Hard rock summer

Hard rock summer



Rock all night

Gonna blow this town

Til morning light

Going round and round

Hard rock summer in the USA
