The Drifters - We Gotta Sing! The Soul Years 1962-71

Only In America

Only in America can a guy from anywhere
Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire
Only in America can a kid without a cent
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President

Only in America, land of opportunity, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me?

Only in America can a kid who's washin' cars
Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars
Only in America could a dream like this come true
Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you?

Only in America, land of opportunity, yeah, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me?
A poor boy like me

Only in America, only in America
Only in America, only in America
