Only In America

[wowie]

I like the upbeat tone of this song. Upbeat! I need upbeat!

Only In America


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

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

can actually hear the song here.

 I'm on a country music roll at the moment. ;)

I love country music. There is another song by Alan Jackson called "Where Were You (that September Day)" written for 9/11.

"Where Were You (that September Day)

Definitely not a good song for me today!

That's a good song for today. I had never heard it before. Who else are you listening to country music-wise?

I keep thinking of Frank Hopkins whenever I hear country music now.

Whatever's playing on the radio :).

I don't listen to much country music but that song by Brooks & Dunn "I Believe", Oh it brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear that. Such a good song. That would be another good song for today.
