I'm a rock and roll vagabond I'm a streetwise runaway Sixteen when I left home And I don't regret it a single day I'm a sucker for a loud guitar Got one tatooed on my chest It's hot July My mouth's too dry
You know I'll be screamin Hard rock summer Hard rock summer
... ... Hard rock summer in the USA
Hard rock summer in the USA
Got a job It was so damn hard Just workin' for the man All year long I saved my pay And I stashed it in a rusty can ... And blew my head Then he blew me out of town I parked my van at the L.A. sand California screamin' Hard rock summer Hard rock summer
Rock all night Gonna blow this town Til morning light Going round and round Hard rock summer in the USA
