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.
