lyrics

You gotta be good
You gotta be tough
You gotta raise hell
And you gotta have luck
To play – in the good ol’ USA
You gotta pay your dues in the God-damn USA

The coldest night in Buffalo
Down in Louisville you never know
What you might get
‘cept the good folks that you met
Thank God for Circleville
And those good folks that I met

And it sure ain’t about the money
It’s only the strong that survive
You’ve got to play hard
Don’t be a dummy
If you wanna make it out of here alive

In Lawrence out at Frank’s North Star
At Kirby’s down in Witchita
Playin’ for barbeque
Out at Bob’s Bend Store
And a bucket of tips can’t ask for too much more

Now you might not make it out ahead
But you’re doin’ good if you ain’t half dead
Once you done played
In the good ol’ USA
You gotta pay your dues in the God-damn USA

Once you paid your dues,
Still got shoes
Made it out alive just singing the blues
Yes you may keep going on your way
Cause you made it out alive
Of the God-damn USA

God-damn!
