[00:36.95] Nineten fifteen nine
[00:39.49] Born down by the factories
[00:41.74] Cross the Jersey City line
[00:44.59] Raised on radio
[00:47.07] Just a jukebox kid
[00:49.58] I was alright
[00:54.88] Just a small town homeboy
[00:57.10] With big time dreams
[00:59.63] Foollowing his conscience
[01:01.97] In a world full of extremes
[01:04.96] Fresh outta high school
[01:07.37] Only seventeen
[01:09.61] I was alright
[01:15.44] Blinded by my vision
[01:17.32] There ws just no turning back
[01:20.07] Lika a runaway train
[01:22.51] Life was steaming down the track
[01:25.65] You'd say I'd never make it out
[01:27.88] But I kept on hanging on
[01:29.83] Every night I prayed to Jesus
[01:32.89] And held my head up strong
[01:35.35] I was alright
[01:38.36] I landed on my feet

[02:19.72] Found the wrong end of a gun
[02:22.94] He left his inspiration
[02:25.15] Before he said boodbye
[02:27.80] And we were alright
[02:32.91] We all lose out innocence
[02:35.34] It's impossible to hold
[02:37.90] I didn't know it then
[02:39.84] I had a packet full of gold
[02:43.02] When I kissed those younger days goodbye
[02:45.27] It almost broke my heart
[02:47.41] I was going to ghrough my growing pains
[02:50.33] I was driving in the dark
[02:52.92] But I was alright
[02:55.53] I landed on my feet
[02:58.11] Made in America
[03:00.54] I was brought up on the street
[03:03.18] I'm facing up to freedom
[03:05.30] And chacing down my dream

[04:08.61] When they said I'd never make it
[04:10.99] I just kept on hanging on
[04:12.95] And every night I prayed to Jesus
[04:15.82] And I held my head up strong
[04:18.32] And I was alright
[04:20.94] I landed on my feet
[04:23.58] Made in America
