Straight outta school but still just
a fool
thought the streets were paved
with gold
he moved oof the block and
found he was lost
in a world he`d never known
he had to hustle so he could pay
the rent
played all the aces and wound up
president
you see it`s okay
got to find your own way
keep on trying all day
and you know your time
will come
you`ll get your chance to run
Chorus:
You`re livin` in America
you`re livin` in the home of
the dream
you`re livin` in America
just make it what you want it
to be
Soap opera child with hope in
her eyes
lookin` for a starrin` role
she came into town and acted
the clown
had a long, long way to go
waitin` on tables and pumpin`
gasoline
she served an agent, now she`s
a movie queen
you see it`s okay
got to find your own way
keep on tryin` all day
and you know the time will come
for each of everyone
Chorus:
You`ll stand alone on a long
hard road
with a crowd that you can`t see
just start by steppin` out
then let your mind run free
Chorus:
It`s okay
you`re livin` in the USA
find your dream
you know that dream can set
you free
It`s okay
we`re part of a United State
you and me
can be just what we wanna be
he`s okay
he left the block and reached
the top
she`s all right
the agent put her name in lights
He`s okay
he`s paid his rent he`s president
she`s all right
she`s on your TV screen tonight
