“Back in the USA,” written and recorded by Chuck Berry. Released by Chess Records in 1959. The tune was reprised by Linda Ronstadt in 1978.
“Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back to the U. S. A.
Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A.”
