Lyrics:
Yeah, uh!
Get up, now!
Ow!
Knock out this!
Super highways, coast to coast
Easy to get anywhere
On the transcontinental overload
Just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel
When there's no destination - that's too far
And somewhere on the way
You might find out who you are
Living in America - eye to eye, station to station
Living in America - hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America - got to have a celebration
Rock my soul
Smokestack, fatback
Many miles of railroad track
All night radio, keep on runnin'
Through your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners keep you awake
Hey, on black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk the fine line
You might take the hard line
But everybody's working overtime
Living in America
Eye to eye, station to station
Living in America
Hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America
Got to have a celebration
I live in America, help me out
But I live in America
Wait a minute
You might not be looking for the promised land
But you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans (New Orleans)
Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas)
Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.)
New York City (New York City)
Kansas City (Kansas City)
Atlanta (Atlanta), Chicago and L.A
Living in America
Ht me
Living in America
Yeah
I walk in and out
Living in America
I live in America
State lines
Gonna make the prime that
I live in America
Hey
I know what it means, I
Living in America
Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out
Living in America
Hit me, I said now, eye to eye
Station to station
Living in America
So nice, with your bare self
Living in America
I feel good!

Rest in Peace Carl Weathers! I know James is up there introducing you through the gates of heaven!!
He was definitely one of the best.
R.I.P 😢🇺🇸🥊
Just found out. So sad. RIP Apollo Creed
Great actor and always will be a raider
Yup
Damn Straight! A God among men! The relationship that he had as and with a fictional character moved me!
RIP to both James Brown and Carl Weathers. 😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️
And Burt Young, Tony Burton, Burgess Meredith, and everybody else from the franchise.
@@dannythomas417 Them too. ❤️😢
Amen
Rocky was the best film in the 1970s and 1980s
❤🙏🏽💯🤙🏽
RIP Carl Weathers!!! 🙏🏻🇺🇸🦅💪🏼 we love you
Rest in Peace Carl Weathers.
You were definitely one of the best to ever do it.
You gave us some of the greatest moments in cult classic culture and film.
😢😢
Thank you for all the memories.
🇺🇸🥊
Awe yoo
its all in da hips
We all Miss Him and his Gorgeous Smile 😊😁
I’m not even an American but this song makes me proud to be an American
Me too.
Relatable.🤣
Wa wa what?
Being an American is the absolute best. And if you want to come over illegally, there's a bunch of Americans that will welcome you regardless. So come on over!
I’ll stick with the UK but definitely need to visit the US one day! Maybe Vegas 😃
If you’re an American and this song doesn’t give you goosebumps, there’s something wrong with you.
If you are humans with feelings , it should give you something regardless
I'm an Englishman and it gives me goosebumps. What an awesome nation you have. 🇺🇸
This is much better than the national anthem.
Damn... R.I.P. Carl Weathers... this song and his epic handshake with Arnold Schwarzenegger will always remain core memories within us all.. 😔
Meus sentimentos para toda a América, abraço do Brazil 🙏
Dillon and Apollo Creed
The Count Of Monte Fisto ,The King of Sting.....😂❤❤❤❤

@@fluorosco “the master of disaster”
its not Arnold, its Dolph Lundgren
RIP Apollo Creed
Everyone miss him , I think it was rong from the movie's writer to kill him early .
@@joelegand1035 man rocky needed a reason to fight drago after apollo
The Roller I know right? Know Sysvester regrets killing Apollo off!
when did carl weathers dee i
Govan Squared Carl Weathers didn’t die we are just talking about the character Carl played in the movies Apollo Creed !
The USA is a very beautiful country with stunning nature. Respect from Russia, Moscow. Peace and love.
R.I.P Carl Weathers, your role as Apollo was impressive. We will never forget you ❤
R.I.P Carl Weathers. His entrance music into Heaven.
Ciao..by..gio..sss..primo..e..gio..sss..junior..in..by..gio..sss..primo.. miami..florida..ciaoo
He was on a bull walking up to heaven and saying "well stallion it's been a good ride together"
Fun fact: Dolph Lundgren, the guy playing Drago, said his look of awe in this scene was his genuine reaction. He hadn't seen the set before filming so the first time he saw it was when they filmed this scene. He said he was blown away by everything he saw.
That really helped make the video enjoyable for me.The look of awe and confusion on his face when everyone's dancing around him and Carl Weathers is dancing on stage in an Uncle Sam-like outfit is just hilarious. It's a great song and a great video!
Hes also a genius with multiple degrees
I fucking love this man!
Dolph Lundgren is also one of the nicest people one will ever meet, from what I've heard.
That genuine look of “ WTF?”
Apollo was really enjoying himself there on stage...
Yup then got killed for it.
@@mattmullins7374 lol too soon... 😭😭
Truth
CARL WEATHERS AND DOLPH LUNDGREN PARTIED THEIR ASS OFF AFTERWARDS THATS BRILLIANCE OF ONSCREEN THEATRIX
DRAGOOOOOOOO
RIP The King of Sting, The Dancing Destroyer, The Prince of Punch, The Count of Monte Fisto
He has retired more men than Social Security.
El Maestro del Ojo de Tigre 🐅
At the end of that film, heavyweight champ Apollo swears he does not want seconds. But when Rocky “the Italian Stallion” Balboa gets to fight Apollo “The Master of Disaster,” “The King of Sting,” “The Dancing Destroyer,” “The Prince of Punch,” “The Count of Monte Fisto” LOOK familiar? You know I could never figure out how to get likes? It's rather simple isn't it? Cheat (copy and paste) or be fake and sometimes both. All these ....... that like your OBVIOUS c & p
@@sjwscott1 Maybe you don't get likes because nobody likes you comments? I'd recommend a friendlier attitude and less tighter underwear as it seems its makes you a little bitter against the world. Also maybe try, as recommended by me old mate Stanley Blunt, some Elixir, a local brew which cheered him up! Just Carry On Abroad and cheer up!!
1985
Right after giving Carl Weathers the "Dillon, you Son of A..." bicep handshake-lock greeting, God is playing this hype tune in Heaven today
I was Mr. Browns bodyguard for 6 years. He was a great performer and I miss him every day.
coming from you that means a lot,sir. god bless you and your family and may you forever cherish your time with one of the true greats.
2:53 ..hit me!
Lucky gentleman!❤😊🎉
Thank you for keeping one of our music kings safe 👑🙏👑
God bless you sir.
Should be the national anthem
I agree!!!!
hahahaha
It would need to be shortened..
Please! smile!.
Nay! Elongated!!!
Apollo Creed's Anthem. RIP Carl Weathers!!!
We love you Apollo Creed for eternity!!!! RIP Carl Weathers!
this should be America's national anthem.
It is for me.
Amen to that!
I'm British but I'd salute to this 🫡🇺🇲
Fuck yeah! 🇺🇸🦅
Thumb's up for listening to James Brown in November 2020
during the elekshen baybay
I do because ........I..... live in AMERICA!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately a song like this can't be made today because it would be considered racist and it would be labeled as triggering.
@@ewjomega2596 sounds bout right
@@ewjomega2596 screw what people think today, their minds are owned by communists
Rest In Peace Apollo :(. This one hits really hard.
The most iconic entrance in movie history....RIP Carl Weathers
I once saw an old press television interview with James Brown that was made in the late 60's and he was asked about "Black Power" and he said: "When I was 8 years old I had a shoe shine stand in front of radio station: WGYW in Knoxville. I now OWN that radio station - THAT is BLACK POWER!" What a great response...
Truth Indeed AMEN
1985
American dream era
Honestly this song gets better and better as time goes on. Its extremely catchy and just fun
🙃 YEP! USE TO LISTEN TO IT ON THE CAR RADIO BACK WHEN IT CAME OUT ✌️ MOVIE WAS GREAT TOO!
Loving it more and more
Like fine wine.John M Guinto

@andon Ledhi weird propaganda but ok
RIP Carl Weathers. Apollo 4ever 🇺🇸 🥊
RIP Carl Weathers. This was a truly funky scene.

Yea thanks for getting too greedy and screwing the generation that want to create their own 80s
Good damm yes love out there 👋hi
@Olde Skool yeah I am, im helping your generation to learn programming and do diagnostics for desktops and mainframes.
Absolutely 1 of the best songs made J. Brown.
La meilleure 👍🏾
I am not American,but I think all Americans should be proud of this song
I would petition this should be our anthem.
Only true patriots are listening to this classic today 4th of July.
I hear ya, friend!
What a coincidence
I listen to it often. FJB!! FJB!!
HHHUUU AAAHHH!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Me!!!🤘💪
Or maybe they were just fans of JB?🤷🏽♀️
best boxing entrance ever
R.i.p Apollo
Right? Just dancing around and showboating while getting the stare-down
AllisonzYT reminds me of the time Felix “ Tito” Trinidad tried to do the same, Puerto Rican flag 🇵🇷 pants and a hat of similar color...”Mi Bandera”by el Flako was the song he made his cool entrance...I’ll never forget how Bernard Hopkins beat the shit out of him 🤕

Yeah true no one Beat the shit out of ladies like he did
@@DDRUTOU , lmao
My neighbors name is James brown.
James Brown; They didn't call him "The Godfather Of Soul" for nothing.
I can't find a thing wrong with this song or video. An absolute classic!
Everytime I watch rocky 4 have to get up and dance to this song 😀
1985
TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏 YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
He put on a hell of a show.
for sure, man, I even love how he pronounces/ emphasizes words in it and I'm a 60yo white guy- this takes me back to my street-balling days in the 80's.
Rest In Peace Mr. Carl Weathers 🙏 ❤
I'm British and never been to America and most likely to never being able to afford to go but I love this track and James Brown in general, R.I.P
Much respect! 🫡
Well, if flights to Mexico are more affordable, you can just walk across the southern border, they'll bus you to NYC give you a place to stay, food and spending money.
Happy Independence Day 🇺🇲
Happy Independence Day love from England 🏴❤️🇺🇸
Happy 4th as well

I definitely played this at my July 4 party. James Brown and Rocky IV! Awesome song!
lmao im so lucky to be be born on independance day
Proud to have co-written the song with the late, great Dan Hartman for the amazing James Brown for Rocky 4. Rock my soul!
Thank you sir
Thank you for an amazing song
Thankyou.. this will ALWAYS ALWAYS be playing every 4th..just like thriller..when your 11 yr. Old knows and loves it..just like I did as a kid...makes me smile 🤩
How do we know you're the real Charlie Midnight?
Incredible song man
Rest in peace James brown and Carl weathers
*Where freedom lives, there is my homeland.🇺🇲🇺🇲🗽💯%*
You do realise that "freedom" exists in about 3/4 of the globe?
Your country didn't invent it. The USA is a mere teenager compared to other countries. With teenager tendencies. I cant think of one other country is so flagrant in singing its own praises.
If the Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America didn't exist, THIS SONG would be the national anthem, and it would make for an awesome time during sporting events.
Everyone please rise, please, get funky, for the national anthem... hit me!
+Stephen Parallox I can picture it! and its great! james brown woooooooowww
we should make it a thing!
+Stephen Parallox Either THIS or America Fuck Yeah.
What the *"fuck does god bless america"* have to do with the current anthem?
"AMESOME THOUGHT!!! SHALOM."
James was one of the coolest men who has ever lived.
you bet cha
@Meta Man Life is too short for racism/sexism etc. Sadly america has always had a problem with it. But it is everywhere all over the world. I see prejudice regulary in the UK. Tiny minded people.
A pioneer in every way. Added just a touch of excitement to the old Ed Sullivan Show. With the legendary Maceo Parker and masterful drummer, Clyde Stubblefield. Those guys lit up those Famous Flames.
An absolute Chad
And that’s the truth! May he Rest In Peace.
James Brown looks like a department of corrections guard drunk on power.
RIP Carl Weathers
Should be played at the Olympics whenever USA wins gold.
Any reason to play it, but I like that idea.
Hopefully in 2028?!
I agree! But other countries would be tired of listening to it fast! Too much repetition!
BRILLIANT!!!!
ya..they said that about cassius clay too..only in the beginning...lol
happy 4th..😳🗯🗯💥🔫👽
James Brown is a national treasure.
Just dont, WHATEVER you do, poop in the mans toilet James Brown, an originator ! God speed on the MotherShip!
This would be a good National Anthem.
It's NOT?!
I agree I love it
I wish was american,
January 20, 2021. Proud at last to be an American, and proud of our new president and historic, vibrant new Vice President.
@@karenwatkins655 yeah, a cop. good times.
I'm Canadian and never get tired of this American patriotic song n dance
Same
I'm from Taiwan and do the SAME! :)
I'm Canadian, this is not Patriotic
same
I love james brown. I'm canadian too.
Such a great song and music video. Apollo Creed's dancing in Rocky 4 was not only funny but a brilliant watch. RIP Carl Weathers.
Back when living in america was a good thing
Still is brother. Never give up hope.
Everybody's workin' overtime!
What a great day to be an American
Indeed
I hear that
This Kyle Rittenhouse case really shows how divided americans are (though I believe the verdict was correct)
I'm not from America, but from what I can see from this video and the film, regardless of being a democrat or republican, americans were more united back then. Am I correct?
@@sheldonfredericks8034 “You bet your sweet *bippy* you’re correct!”
North American, America is for all ;)
I love this song. I like American culture. Down with the lefties. I feel good
Carl Weathers will be in heaven forever with the late James Brown. May you rest in peace Apollo and we miss you from the Philippines
No matter what year it is James Brown still rocked his wardrobe from the 60s.
Best wardrobe!
70s***
😅😅😅
Does anyone know who was/were the designer(s) and tailor(s)? Where are the textiles from? Beautiful and inspiring wardrobe this man and his team has! And the way The Artist wears them!
With the pimp curled hair. D-amn!
34 years later Carl Weathers is tracking a Mandalorian. Amazing how time flies when you're having fun. RIP James Brown - thanks for the music.
He also tracked a Predator with the Terminator too.
No, tracking the Mandalorian happened a long time ago. In a galaxy far, far away as it happens.
😢😢R.I.P Carl Weathers (*)(*)
This should be the new national anthem! RIP, Godfather!
No doubt (jen) after all he mentions just about every city in USA what could be a better candidate.. Oh say what you see. I'd rather hear what I'm feeling any day!
Thank you ... I agree
yes

The true meaning of being American. The Legend, James Brown, summed it all in a song. Love y'all Americans from Portugal 🇵🇹❤️🇺🇸
Rest Peacefully Mr. Carl Weathers AKA Apollo Creed 😢 🙏
The only recording, true recording about living in the USA...2024
Drago coming out 2:50 overwhelmed by the absolute Chad America energy.
That is a weird scene they go from a James Brown raging party to 5 min later Drago turning Apollos brain into mashed potatoes
@@jarnold3415 It's an apt metaphor for America thinking they're star-spangled awesome at everything until moments later getting a harsh reality check. Something that remains true even to this day, perhaps even more so today. Rocky representing the more humble part of America who recognizes their shortcomings and works hard at them, while Apollo is too blind/arrogant to see them and pays the price for that hubris.
@@Devilsnightforlife The harsh reality check in this movie coming from the Soviets engineering a freakishly strong human being by juicing him to the max, which also aptly reflected the issues of the USSR competing in legitimate athletic competition on an even playing field at the time.
Truly if this was reality today, it'd be Rocky as the hard working American doing his best to get by, while his trainer (the people they elected with the expectation they would actually be in service to them) is actively working with Drago (the Chinese) to undermine Rocky by screwing him over while lining his own pocket from two sources.
@@jarnold3415 but mashed potatoes are Amazing so Apollo wins!
@@taasch2505 That's one way of looking at it 😅. I love Apollo
There are alot of songs made to show patriotic love...but few have come close to James Brown's raw emotion especially when the chorus hits that "LIVING IN AMERICA"
Now go watch Living with a Hernia” by Weird Al Yankovic for a good laugh.
@@sallyintucson 🤣🤣
James Brown was the most proud American singer out there. It’s 2 AM and I don’t wanna do some biographical fact dumping here
Bravo
1984
Great song from past..yes on north America USA yay
Everywhere USA
We pray 🙏 ❤❤❤
As far as I'm concerned THIS is THE NATIONAL ANTHEM ! ! ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Truth
James Brown: Fellow South Carolinian, Godfather of Soul, American Patriot. Enough Said.....!! 🇺🇸🦅🗽💓
The Best Soulful Patriot song !!!!
That Christmas morning I woke up to the news that James Brown died I went back to bed. As a kid I always wanted to dance like James Brown.
SC represent!!!
If we would have to change the national anthem god forbid, only this can be a substitute.
@@SouthernGothicYT , Amen and Roger That, Solid Copy!! I lived in Anderson ( Anderson County), South Carolina, from 1973 to 1987, from 3 to 18. Then came the Marine Corps, Army, Marriage to a Soldier, and birth of a baby boy who, also became a Soldier. Both are dead and gone, and secretly, I AM growing weary of Arizona. I AM sorely tempted to return to" The Palmetto State" and die in Dixie Land.
Well this hits different now
Rip Carl Weathers 🥊
The forever Apollo Creed
Fact that y'all be still be listening to this is legendary
Facts
Just like James Brown's drink and drugs exploits....
THE MAN
THE LEGEND
@Meta Man He's awestruck by the sheer amount of 'Murica he's just been delivered into the heart of.
Technically it could count as shock & awe.
I am not an american. I live in Africa but love this song.god bless world🤙✌✌✌🇩🇯🇩🇯🇩🇯❤❤❤
My friends living in the holy republic to the south, I present to you the Godfather of soul, the hardest working man in show business, James Brown! James Brown!! JaaaaaAAAAAaammes BROWN! Enjoy your fourth of July weekend!
Don't be bewildered, get up offa that thing, put on your hot pants, and get on the good foot to ride the night train to get out of sight.

Only the one and only James Brown can carry this to the heights it went, he passed away but his legacy lives on.
Like if you came here after the sad information R.I.P
I saw this man perform live in Montreal in 1968. I was 15 years old and won a VIP ticket in a radio contest . I was in the third row. No cell phones, no big screens just JB his band and back up singers.
A memory never to be forgotten. He was pure electricity.
I saw his show about 40 times over as many years. THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
That's awesome
That must've been AWESOME!!!! I'm so jealous!
@@catirerubio you were truly blessed. God Bless!
