Verso 1
I'm a rock and roll vagabond I'm a streetwise runaway sixteen when I left home
And I don't regret a single day I'm a sucker for a loud guitar Got one tatooed on my chest
It's hot July my mouth's dry you know I'll be 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
Verso 2
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 wind got hot and blew my head
Then it blew me out of town I aimed 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
Solo
Outro
Hard rock summer
Hard rock summer in the US
Hard rock summer
Hard rock summer in the US
Hard rock summer
Hard rock summer in the US
Hard rock summer
Hard rock USA
