In the Show[]
The song is first performed in the special Tori Goes Platinum. After Tori stood up to Mason Thornesmith about changing her character, she was fired from performing in the PMAs and gave the chance to Jade, who also auditioned for the Platinum Music Awards. While Jade was getting ready, she watches a video of Tori and Beck's conversation and after realizing that Tori was defending her, Jade, as a token of gratitude, decides to quit and give Tori the chance to perform because she knew that this was her biggest opportunity. As a result, Jade and Tori finally become friends. Mason, however, gets upset that she still performed despite firing her but overall, enjoyed the performance in the end.
Lyrics[1][]
Got a one way ticket down a two way street
Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet
I'm just trying to make it in America
Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt
Faded 1985 from a Stones concert
And I'm dying to make it in America
And I'm singing the words to my favorite song
With the rag top down and my glasses on
And I'm driving straight through America
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that I'm not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
I want to make it in America
Make it in America
I can see my star sunset and vine
Gonna carve my name in the Hollywood sign
Yeah I gotta, gotta make it in America
See me wearin a smile, even if I'm broke
I'll be singing the words from a song I wrote
And I called it make it in America
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that I'm not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
I can feel the sweat dripping down my face
I can hear my heart as it starts to race
Yeah sometimes this worlds such a lonely place
If I just push on I know that
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that I'm not the only one
I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
