Only in America

Sun comin' up over New York City

School bus driver in a traffic jam

Starin' at the faces in her rear view mirror

Lookin' at the promise of the promised land.



One kid dreams of fame and fortune

One kid helps pay the rent

One could end up goin' to prison

One just might be president.



Only in america

Dreamin' in red, white, and blue

Only in america

Where we dream as big as we want to.

We all get a chance

Everybody gets to dance

Only in america.



Sun goin' down on an L.A. freeway

Newlyweds in the back of a limousine

A welder's son and a banker's daughter

All they want is everything.



She came out here to be an actress

He was the singer in a band

They just might go back to Oklahoma

And talk about the stars they could have been.



Only in america

Dreamin' in red, white, and blue

Only in america

Where we dream as big as we want to.

We all get a chance

Everybody gets to dance

Only in america.



Yeah, we all get a chance

Everybody gets to dance

Only in america

Yeah, in america!...
