The sun coming up
over New York City
The school bus driver
in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces
in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise
of the Promised Land
One kid dreams
of fame and fortune
One kid
helps pay the rent
One could end up
going to prison
One just might be
president
Only in America
dreaming in red,
white and blue
Only in America
where we dream
as big as we want to
We all get the chance
everybody gets
to dance
Only in America...
Sun going 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 a singer
in a band
They just might
go back to Oklahoma
And talk about
the stars they
could have been
Only in America
dreaming in red,
white and blue
Only in America
where we dream
as big as we want to
We all get the chance
everybody gets
to dance
Only in America...
Ooh only in America
dreaming in red,
white and blue
Only in America
where we dream
as big as we want to
We all get the chance
everybody gets
to dance
Only in America...
Yeah only in
America
Only in America...
dreaming in red,
white and blue
Where we dream
as big as we want to
Only in America
