Only in America by R.E.M. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Only in America
Can a guy from anywhere
Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire
Only in America
Can a kid without a cent
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President

[Chorus]
Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Could a boy who's nothing be something and be everything

[Verse 2]
Only in America
Can a kid who's washin' cars
Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars
Only in America
Could a dream like this come true
Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up like you
[Chorus]
Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Could a boy who's nothing be something and be everything
Be everything

[Outro]
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
