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
