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
