Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Staring at the faces in her rear view 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 a 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 a chance, everybody gets to dance
Only in America
