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!

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. 😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️

This is the America I remember growing up in the 80’sand 90’s before they had a crisis of confidence.Please bring back the glory days
Yeah man! one of my favorite songs and today it really feels like we might get to see THIS America again.
A new cabinet member said we're going to have that happy, optimistic, freedom loving feeling of the 80's again. ❤
The 80's were an anomaly. Awesome times. Fond memories of my childhood. Movies were awesome, home computers, etc.
This all started with the Agenda 2000 orchestered by that Demon Soros. Agenda 2030 is falling and all the old evil Fart can do is sit and watch
@@DoNotTredOnMe gentlemen. we the people have voted for freedom. GOD bless America.
RIP Carl Weathers. This was a truly funky scene.
The legend. There will never be another James Brown
Hardest working man in Show Business bro show
There is another James Brown. He's a sports news caster
Yeah true no one Beat the shit out of ladies like he did

Rest In Peace Apollo :(. This one hits really hard.
Damn... R.I.P. Carl Weathers... this song and his epic handshake with Arnold Schwarzenegger will always remain core memories within us all.. 😔

James Brown and Carl Weathers are two iconic legends, gone but never forgotten.w
The true meaning of being American. The Legend, James Brown, summed it all in a song. Love y'all Americans from Portugal 🇵🇹❤️🇺🇸
Eu sabia que ia encontrar um Tuga por aqui, estamos em todo o lado 🇵🇹
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.
The most iconic entrance in movie history....RIP Carl Weathers
I totally agree 🎥
Except republicans hate all the cities mentioned in the song. 😂😂
@duckmercy11Nope. Just how they're run by Democrats.
The most uplifting song I've ever heard!
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.
@@kur1tanlol yeah encourage him to break our laws 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Man, I tell you the 80's was something special and I'm honored to have been apart of it growing up. ✊
Lol. BLM ✊🏿. What a joke
u old asf kkkkk
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.
Right after giving Carl Weathers the "Dillon, you Son of A..." bicep handshake-lock greeting, God is playing this hype tune in Heaven today
This is how I’m feeling January 20th 2025!!
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! 🇺🇸🦅
And one nation under a groove should be the pledge of allegiance
The National Anthem of the United States of America. DAMN.
Yep.....until the democrats started destroying America with Obama and demented Biden and whomever is really in charge, it isn't Biden with his dementia.
Would be cool if they actually changed it to this😅
Listening this on 4th July in Europe 😎🇺🇸
Fuckin right!!!!
😂 I've been joking about this for YEARS! Someone start a petition!
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
you got it
@andon Ledhi weird propaganda but ok
I ain't even live in America but this song goes hard
We in America get goosebumps when we hear songs like this. It’s like F*CK YEAH we live in America bro nobody does it better
This song just gets me reved up. James Brown's dance moves were so smooth in this. Such amazing talent, skill, and grace.
One of the best that ever was.
@@billharrington4640 There will never be another like him. Michael Jackson, Prince, Bruno Mars, etc, all born of James Brown.
I hope you know that Michael Jackson and Prince credited James Brown as being their biggest musical influence
@@EBR1 That is why James Brown is called Soul Brother Number 1.
“Wall the Dinosaur” has a similar sound to this.
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
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
For some reason every badass song from the 80's had a awesome Alto sax solo.
I am not American,but I think all Americans should be proud of this song
I would petition this should be our anthem.
1985
This tune really does capture the vibe of how we do it here
Happy Fourth of July everyone! Happy birthday America! 🇺🇸
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!
Its about meditation. Resilence strenghth obedience and agility
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 😃
Rest In Peace Mr. 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
Kc and the sunshine band
Rest in Paradise Pops, James Brown, and Carl Weathers ❤
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.
I've loved James Brown almost all my life.
What a great American he was.
Man I wish I lived in the 1980's. What a time to be alive.
Maybe you can. I'm planning to put together a Retro Decade Revival Project. Our goal is to bring the golden decades of the past from the 1980s to the Victorian Era. It will have a permanent effect. We'll only leave in the good stuff and erase the bad ones by making improvements both ethnically and equally. Care to join the project? Be my guest.
@@reneastle8447 how are you planning to do that?

@@cov9290 They never need to. The Retro Decade Revival Project is all about purifying the world out of sexualization, perversion and sexual assaults, misconducts and molestations. Rape culture will become a thing of the past, extinct, forgotten and outlawed permanently. Women will be represented in a more positive manner.
RIP Godfather of Soul Town James Brown (1933-2006). He was 73. He could have turned 87.
And 6'3"
may he burn in hell

Az biztos de ez hihetetlen jó
Amen Dont tell Joe Biden and his cronnies or he will tell you he sat in on the session and helped write it with Dan Hartman
REM Orange Crush?
Thank you, Mr. James Brown for bringing so much joy to our lives.
Here here !!
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!
Lucky...
James brown was one of a kind
The Best
and I also eat anus if you didn't know budy
Hardest working mf you could ever meet, always sweating and hollering. One of the best to ever light up a stage. Could never be copied
Absolute Pride in America 🇺🇸.
Un black plus patriote tu meurs ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mr. Brown, the Godfather of Soul was doing the right thing when I heard this in late 1985 still charting at #1 r&b charts in early 1986.
RIP to Carl Weathers, still loved Rocky with Sly living in America.
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?”
Never used vocal backing tracks thru his high energy live shows - simply amazing
This Song makes me proud to be an American.
You said it !
South African bobbing my head to James Brown k owing full well im never gonna visit cause my country justbas beautiful
This songs perfectly defines the 80s era and the true American spirit of those times.
Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏
1985
The 4th of July is just days away. Play this LOUDLY at your BBQ! God bless you James!
I just listened to this on America 's top 40 ( WCBS- F.M.) It was the 2nd most popular 4th of July song in the top 5 songs. We didn't start the fire, was # 1
Yeasss!!!! And I'll be in my USA shirts and tank top to, with USA 🇺🇸 Flags on my Caddy in the driveway. 😊❤
This is the song before the firework show I’m displaying.
I ..🎺.. LIVE IN AMERICA 🎷💃🕺🍔🍺
Happy 4th of July!
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. 🇺🇸
No goosebumps=no american
😂
💯 percent correct!!!!
AWESOME MUSIC BY JAMES BROWN RIP TO A LEGENDARY SINGER AND CARL WEATHERS PASSED AWAY RIP GUYS YOU WILL BE MISSED BY ALL THE FANS.
Its truely awesome that James Brown could belt out such a rousing song about our country with such energy and conviction. i always love to hear it . James made it totally, completely , and pridefully American! I dont think it can ever be topped !
Give "Living with a Hernia" a listen!
I read an article written in 1986 when this came out, saying maybe James Brown shouldn't be singing it due to discrimination that still persisted against black people. I thought But I can not imagine anyone else singing this song.
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
Brother Brown forever
35 years later and still GREAT.
Amazing 💖🙌

My patriotic pride bursts right out of my chest everytime I here this song! RIP James Brown - The Godfather of Soul
I love the USA, it is a great and very beautiful country. Greetings from Russia.

Apollo Creed's Anthem. RIP Carl Weathers!!!
Whole song is awesome. The movie it came from was awesome. The country is came from was awesome. The time it came from was awesome. Civilization peaked sometime during that sax solo. Just perfect.
Then Apollo died. The beginning of the end.
This is one of my favorite feelgood songs and it gives me so much joy and energy, I'd love for everyone in America to be together and sing this song.
For sure. I often put this on, have me some Fireball and have a great time.
The Marxists hate America and the spirit of True Americans. Never underestimate what we can accomplish together. We will crush the Marxists who hate this country.
This song makes the same feeling to a dude who never left europe in his 30+ life but was raised on american movies after comunism fall down here in Poland

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.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Technically it could count as shock & awe.

He has retired more men than Social Security.

@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!!

Going from this to the current state of America must be sad. At least this song heals it.

Yup then got killed for it.
