She knocked down my money, she knocked down my fame

Just wanna feel I'm a part of the game

On the radio, on tv, it's like a heartbeat deep inside of me



Know what I want, know how to get, it's like the sound of a hot Corvette

Start it up, let it roll, come on baby, let's lose control



Ooh yeah, I wanna live it up, ooh yeah, don't wanna give it up, oh no



I wanna rock the rock of America, yeah baby rock the rock of America, ooh yeah



I hear the beat everywhere, smalltown streets, union squares

Every city's got that sound, it's in the open, not underground

Turn it up all the way, you can't escape it, it's here to stay

Sounds like thunder in my soul, come on babe, let's lose control



Ooh yeah, I wanna live it up, ooh yeah, don't wanna give it up now, no no



I wanna rock the rock of America, yeah baby rock the rock of America, ooh yeah



(Solo)



Ooh yeah, I wanna live it up, ooh yeah, don't wanna give it up now, no



I wanna rock the rock of America, yeah rock the rock of America

An' I've gotta rock the rock of America, you know what I want

Rock the rock of America, yeah
