On July 4th, our Independence Day, it seems only right and normal to post a few songs about America, what it stands for, what it means, how we live, how much we value it and what we will do to protect it! Accordingly, for my July 4th Music Interlude a bring you first, Brooks and Dunn performing "Only in America", an Official Music Video...
About Only in America
"Only in America" is a song recorded by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It was released in June 2001 as the second single from the album Steers & Stripes. Kix Brooks, one-half of the duo, co-wrote the song with Don Cook and Ronnie Rogers. "Only in America" was also the second of three consecutive Number One hits from that album, reaching its peak on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts for the week of October 27, 2001.

LYRICS:
Brooks & Dunn - "Only In America"
Sun coming' up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Staring out at the faces in a rear view mirror
Lookin' 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
[Chorus]
Only in America
Dreamin' 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 goin' down on an LA freeway
Newly weds in the back of a limosine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is every thing
She came out here to be an actress
He was a singer in a band
They might just go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been
[Chorus]
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
[Chorus]
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Yeah Only in America
Only in America
Where we dream in red white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to
Only in America
