Disseram adeus a suas famílias Said goodbye to their families Disseram adeus a seus amigos Said goodbye to their friends Com sonhos impossíveis na cabeça With pipe dreams in their heads E muito pouco dinheiro nas mãos And very little money in their hands Uns são negros e outros são brancos Some are black and some are white Não têm vergonha de dormir no chão Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight Com a fé cega em Jesus, você sabe que eles só poderiam estar With the blind faith of Jesus you know that they just might, be Tocando rock nos E.U.A. Rockin' in the U.S.A. Hey! Hey!
