Made in America

 

Walked into a post office, tried to mail a letter

Nobody spoke English, I must be in France

I don’t even understand myself

Hey lady, can you give me a hand

Well I got into a taxi, wanted to see the Eiffel Tower

Wound up at some mall, spending my last dollar

New York City would look good to me right now

Well, its calling my name, made in America

 

I met a friend of mine in the former East Berlin

He said its good to have my freedom

I’m not sure what to do then

I said “wrap it up son, save it for later”

My darling Shelia, she called me on the phone

Said I found another man to call my own

She said “ I’ll take the dog too, he always liked me better”

It’s calling my name, made in America

 

Well I’m lost, set out on my own

Looks like I stayed just a little too long

 

Now I’m walking down the street camera round my neck

Sixteen bags and a sign on my forehead that said

“ Tourist, that’s all”

Oh, it’s calling my name, made in America

 

I met a senorita on the sunny side of Spain

Pretty little smile, big brown eyes in the rain

I never understood what she was saying

I think its better that way

It’s calling my name, made in America
