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 a 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...

Only... in America

Where we dream

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, only in America

Where we dream

in red, white and blue

Yeah, we dream

as big as we want to......

America......
