Rod Temperton - Livin' in America lyrics

Straight outta school but still just a fool Thought the streets were paved with gold He moved off 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 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 and 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 and everyone 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 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 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 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 the 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
