Lyrics
Where the beers always cold and the music's always hot.
Where a working man can make it to the top.
From the highest mountain to the lowest plains.
From the fields of hay to the San Francisco bay.
Where the rubber meets the road and a nail meets a hammer. Where the sound of traffic spreads far and wide.
The bricks were laid in the USA.
(chorus)
The bricks were laid in the USA
The bricks were laid in the USA
It took a whole lotta sweat and a whole lotta pain.
Where there's place to escape they call Neverland.
Where a man can speak his mind so others understand.
From Cape Canaveral rockets blast into space.
From coast to coast a place we all embrace.
Where a man with a load can find a helping hand.
Where we all tell the truth on the witness stand.
The bricks were laid in the USA.
(Repeat Chorus)
The bricks were laid in the USA
The bricks were laid in the USA
It took a whole lotta sweat and a whole lotta pain.
Where the trains never stop they run night and day.
Where you can fly to Hawaii if you want to play.
From a soup kitchen many a man has ate.
From a platform you can run as a candidate.
Where a man with talent is allowed to create.
Where we all sit and cheer waiting at home plate.
The brick were laid in the USA.
(Repeat Chorus)
The bricks were laid in the USA
The bricks were laid in the USA
It took a whole lotta sweat and a whole lotta pain.
(end)
