Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President
Land of opportunity, yeah

Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars
Could a dream like this come true
Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me
Only in America (poor boy like me)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
