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 plan
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
repeat chorus
yeah,we
all get a chance
everybody gets to dance
only in america
yeah, in america
