Letra de la canción
It's a long fast dance (owww)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Well a long fast dance of progress
And the long slow waltz of decay
Made such a natural born couple
They settled down right here in the USA
Dream home for two in the USA
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, uh, uh
Hot jazz, cool blues, we got country
We get rock and roll all day (owww)
Like to dance, come on down, get funky
That's the way, that's the way
That's the way, hey, hey, in the USA
There's still cowboys and Indians (Indians) at home on the range
But the cowboys and Indians have changed, they've changed
Cowboys and Indians have changed
We got James Dean (hey) on the silver screen
We got James Brown he won't let you down
Now Elvis was the king of rock and roll (rock and roll, rock and roll)
We got preacher men who want to save your soul (save your soul, save your soul)
Got the motorcity with the Motown beat (Motown beat, Motown beat)
Get hit to the beep on the hip-hop street (hip hop street)
Stars and bars and the biggest cars
And a rocket ship take you up to Mars
There's the east coast trip where it's more uptight
And you work all day (yeah) and you play all night
And the west coast side (yeah) with the laid back scene
When you just lay back (yeah) and it seems like a dream
There's a lot of places (yeah) in between
There's Hollywood and the city by the bay
And the whole damn south down in Louisiana way (way, way)
That's the way (way, way, owww), that's the way, hey, hey, in the USA
There's still cowboys and Indians (Indians) at home on the range
But the cowboys and Indians have changed, they've changed
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
The cowboys and cowgirls and Indians have changed
Do, do, do, doo
Do, do, do, doo (uh, uh, uh)
Do, do, do, doo
Owww, owww
Hey
Baby, baby, baby
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way in the USA
That's the way (yeah) that's the way, that's the way in the USA (baby, baby, baby)
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way in the USA
That's the way (yeah) that's the way, that's the way in the USA
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way in the USA (uh, uh, uh, uh)
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way in the USA
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way in the USA
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way in the USA
Cowboys and Indians
Cowboys and Indians (in the USA)
Cowboys (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey) and Indians (in the USA)
Cowboys and Indians (owww) (in the USA)
Cowboys (hey, home on the range) and Indians (in the USA)
Cowboys and Indians (in the USA)
Cowboys and Indians (in the USA)
Cowboys and Indians
