Sun comin' 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! 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,
newly-weds 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! 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!
