    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this while having a cup of coffee in the wonderful lounge of the Stouffer Hotel in Nashville. The lyrics took about 7 minutes (yes, I should maybe have taken a bit longer!). The music took about 3 minutes. The recording(using a pocket Yamaha QY20 sequencer) took an hour. Pitched it to 4 major Nashville beards who threw me out immediately! Which probably means this is a big potential hit! Take this AS IT IS ! It's just a home-made demo. If YOU can record it and sell a million or two, GOOD LUCK!

    Lyrics
    Well I roamed around the world
    And I've known a thousand girls
    Right from here to Indonesia and back
    I've had so many lovers
    Of every creed and color
    Been quite a Casanova in fact
    But the girl that I'm gonna marry
    She's just about the best of the lot
    She ain't exotic but man she's got it
    Something that the others ain't got
    SHE WAS MADE IN THE U.S.A. RAISED DOWN TEXAS WAY
    SHE'S A HOME GROWN CUTIE OF UNKNOWN BEAUTY
    MADE IN THE U.S. of A.

    Well them geishas in Japan
    They sure can please a man
    The Can-Can girls in France can too
    Them sexy foreign women can set your heart a-spinnin'
    But they can't cook a crawdaddy stew
    The girl I'm gonna marry
    She's long and she is tall
    She ain't so good in bed but as I just said
    She's just about the best of 'em all

    SHE WAS MADE IN THE U.S.A. RAISED DOWN TEXAS WAY
    SHE'S A HOME GROWN CUTIE OF UNKNOWN BEAUTY
    MADE IN THE U.S. of A.

    When all is said and done
    I've had a lot of fun
    But now I'm gonna settle me down
    In just a little while I'll be walking down the aisle
    With a girl from my home town

    SHE WAS MADE IN THE U.S.A. RAISED DOWN TEXAS WAY
    SHE'S A HOME GROWN CUTIE OF UNKNOWN BEAUTY
    MADE IN THE U.S. of A.

    SHE WAS MADE IN THE U.S.A. AND AS MY GRANDPA USED TO SAY
    THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRLS IN THE WHOLE WILD WORLD THEY'RE ALL MADE RIGHT HERE IN THE U.S.A.
