Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sun comin' up over New York City
A school bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Lookin' at the promise of the promised land
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They might just go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been
[Chorus]
Only in America
Dreamin' in red, white, and blue
Yeah, only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Only in America
Yeah, only in America
Hey, only in A-
Hey, only in A-
Hey, only in America
[Outro]
Everybody gets a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Some make a fortune
Some fight to pay the rent
Some die for freedom
Heroes we never will forget
Only in America
Yeah, only in America
