American Music - The Blasters

Well, it can be sweet and lovely, it can be hard and mean

One thing’s for sure, it’s always on the beam

They wanna hear some American music

American music

They wanna hear that sound right from the U.S.A

Well, it’s a howl from the deserts, a scream from the slums

The Mississippi rollin' to the beat of the drums

They wanna hear some American music

American music

They wanna hear that sound right from the U.S.A

We got the Louisiana boogie and the delta blues

We got country, swing and rockabilly, too

We got jazz, country-western and Chicago blues

It’s the greatest music that you ever knew

It’s American music

It’s American music

It’s American music

It’s that crazy sound right from the U.S.A

Well, a US soldier boy has to stop right in his tracks

When he hears that crazy beat, he turns and doubles back

Because they’re playing American music, American music

The whole world digs that sound from the U.S.A
