[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You see it's okay (Baby)
Got to find your own way
(Hold your dream real tight)
Keep on tryin' all day
(Some days are hard)
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
[Verse 2]
Soap opera child with hope in her eyes
Looking for a starring role
She came into town and acted the clown
Had a long, long way to go
Waiting on tables and pumpin' gasoline
She served an agent, now she's a movie queen
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You see it's okay (Baby)
Got to find your own way
(Hold your dream real tight)
Keep on tryin' all day
(Some days are hard)
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
[Verse 2]
Soap opera child with hope in her eyes
Looking for a starring role
She came into town and acted the clown
Had a long, long way to go
Waiting on tables and pumpin' gasoline
She served an agent, now she's a movie queen
