Rock of America
Embracing the Rhythmic Pulse of American Passion
Lyrics
She knocked down my money, she knocked down my fame
Feeling a loss of financial wealth and reputation due to someone's actions
Just wanna feel I'm a part of the game
Desire to feel included and involved in a significant way
On the radio, on tv, it's like a heartbeat deep inside of me
Music and media are deeply ingrained and resonate within the individual
Know what I want, know how to get, it's like the sound of a hot corvette
Clear understanding of desires and methods to attain them, compared to the powerful sound of a fast car
Start it up, let it roll, come on baby, let's lose control
Initiating action and embracing excitement, urging a partner to join in
Ooh yeah, I wanna live it up, ooh yeah, don't wanna give it up, oh no
Expressing a strong desire to enjoy life without wanting to relinquish that enjoyment
I wanna rock the rock of america, yeah baby rock the rock of america, ooh yeah
Expressing a desire to influence or make a mark in the American culture through rock music
I hear the beat everywhere, smalltown streets, union squares
Awareness of the pervasive nature of the musical beat in various settings
Every city's got that sound, it's in the open, not underground
Recognition that the music is widely present and openly accepted
Turn it up all the way, you can't escape it, it's here to stay
Acknowledging the inescapability and permanence of the music's presence
Sounds like thunder in my soul, come on babe, let's lose control
Comparing the impact of the music to the powerful force of thunder within
Ooh yeah, I wanna live it up, ooh yeah, don't wanna give it up now, no no
Reiterating the desire to enjoy life without wanting to give it up
I wanna rock the rock of america, yeah baby rock the rock of america, ooh yeah
Reaffirming the desire to influence or make an impact through rock music in America

Instrumental/solo part in the song
Ooh yeah, I wanna live it up, ooh yeah, don't wanna give it up now, no
Repeating the desire to live life to the fullest without giving it up
I wanna rock the rock of america, yeah rock the rock of america
Expressing the determination to rock and influence American culture through music
An' I've gotta rock the rock of america, you know what I want
Strong determination to impact American culture through rock music, reiterating desires
Rock the rock of america, yeah
Reiteration of the desire to influence or make an impact through rock music in America
