(kix brooks/don cook/ronnie rogers)



Sun coming up over new york city

School bus driver in a traffic jam

Starin' at the faces in her rearview 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 la. 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



Chorus



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
