Lyrics
Only in America
Expressing a unique quality of America
Can a guy from anywhere
Highlighting the potential for success regardless of origin
Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire
Emphasizing the rapid transformation of financial status
Only in America
Reiterating the exceptional opportunities in America
Can a kid without a cent
Illustrating the chance for a financially disadvantaged child
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President
Suggesting the possibility of rising to the presidency despite humble beginnings
Only in America
Reaffirming America as a land of opportunities
Land of opportunity, yeah
Describing America as a country full of possibilities
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me
Questioning the likelihood of an affluent woman falling for a poor man in America
Only in America
Underlining the exclusivity of certain achievements in America
Can a kid who's washin' cars
Portraying a scenario where a humble car washer achieves great success
Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars
Symbolizing reaching for ambitious goals and aspirations
Only in America
Emphasizing the realization of improbable dreams in America
Could a dream like this come true
Highlighting the possibility of dreams coming true in the country
Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you
Expressing the idea of starting with nothing and achieving a meaningful connection
Only in America
Reiterating America's status as a land of opportunities
Land of opportunity, yeah
Reaffirming the abundance of opportunities in the country
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me
Pondering the likelihood of an elegant woman choosing a financially modest man
Only in America (poor boy like me)
Repetition for emphasis on the unique qualities of America
Only in America (only in America)
-Only in America (only in America)
-Only in America (only in America)
-Only in America (only in America)
-Only in America
