Only In America! Yes!!

[Born_A_Truman]

I watched the Unity rally on CSpan tonight because I was working when it was live and didn't get to see everything. After the speeches while Barack & Hillary were down in the crowd shaking hands, one of the songs they played was Brooks & Dunn's Only In America. I thought I would share with those who missed it.

Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise of the Promised Land
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president

Only in America
Dreaming in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Sun going down on an La. freeway
Newlyweds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been

Only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Yeah only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to

~~~~~~

United for Change!! Oh Happy Day!!

1. Thanks for the link

I'm not familiar with Brooks and Dunn at all. I never heard of them before I listened to your link. After a certain age, our musical tastes are set in stone ( at least mine seem to be) so I stick with my George Thorogoood, old blues artists, the Stones, Motown, etc. But the point is, I had tears in my eyes as I listened. And the only thing I kept thinking was: I resent it that I can't be patriotic anymore. I feel like chimp and co. stole that from me. And I can't wait to get it back.:)

2. I understand exactly what you mean

I can't wait to get it back either.
