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 a singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been

Only in America
Dreamin' in 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

Only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Only in America
Yeah 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

ONLY IN AMERICA

David Balls' Official Web Site	I was just out of the service thumbing through the classifieds When an ad that said:"Old Chevy" somehow caught my eye The lady didn't know the year,or even if it ran But I had that thousand dollars in my hand It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn Thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp When I pulled the cover off,it took away my breath What she called a Chevy was a sixty six Corvette I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills But what a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note The date was nineteen-sixty six and this is what it wrote: He said,"My name is Private Andrew Malone" "If you're reading this,then I didn't make it home" "But for every dream that shattered,another one comes true" "This car was once a dream of mine,now it belongs to you" "And though you may take her and make her your own" "You'll always be riding with Private Malone" Well it didn't take me long at all,I had her running good I love to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood I had her shining lika a diamond and I'd put the rag top down All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right But it picked up that oldie show,especially late at night I'd get the feeling sometimes,if I turned real quick I'd see A soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone Who fought for his country and never made it home But for every dream that's shattered,another one comes true This car was once a dream of his,back when it was new He told me to take her and make her my own And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone One night it was raining hard,I took the curve too fast I still dont remember much about that fiery crash Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out They didn't get his name, but I know without a doubt It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone Who fought for his country and never made it home But for every dream that's shattered,another one comes true This car was once a dream of his,back when it was new I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along That night I was riding with Private Malone Oh,thank God,I was riding with Private Malone

	One hand Reaches out And pulls a lost soul from harm While a thousand more go unspoken for They say what good have you done By saving just this one It's like whispering a prayer In the fury of a storm And I hear them saying you'll never change things And no matter what you do it's still the same thing But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so this world will know That it will not change me This heart Still believes The love and mercy still exist While all the hatred rage and so many say That love is all but pointless in madness such as this It's like trying to stop a fire With the moisture from a kiss And I hear them saying you'll never change things And no matter what you do it's still the same thing But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so this world will know That it will not change me As long as one heart still holds on Then hope is never really gone I hear them saying you'll never change things And no matter what you do it's still the same thing But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so this world we know Never changes me What I do is so This world will know That it will not change me

The Legend The Man	I walked through a county courthouse square On a park bench, an old man was sittin' there. I said, "Your old court house is kinda run down, He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town". I said, "Your old flag pole is leaned a little bit, And that’s a ragged old flag you got hangin' on it". He said, "Have a seat", and I sat down, "Is this the first time you've been to our little town" I said, "I think it is" He said "I don’t like to brag, but we’re kinda proud of That Ragged Old Flag "You see, we got a little hole in that flag there, When Washington took it across the Delaware. and It got powder burned the night Francis Scott Key sat watching it, writing "Say Can You See" And it got a rip in New Orleans, with Packingham & Jackson tugging at its seams. and It almost fell at the Alamo beside the Texas flag, But she waved on though. She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville, And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill. There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard and Bragg, And the south wind blew hard on That Ragged Old Flag "On Flanders Field in World War I, She got a big hole from a Bertha Gun, She turned blood red in World War II She hung limp, and low, a time or two, She was in Korea, Vietnam, She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam. She waved from our ships upon the briny foam and now they've about quit wavin' back here at home in her own good land here She’s been abused, She's been burned, dishonored, denied, refused, And the government for which she stands Is scandalized throughout out the land. And she’s getting thread bare, and she’s wearin' thin, But she’s in good shape, for the shape she’s in. Cause she’s been through the fire before and i believe she can take a whole lot more. "So we raise her up every morning We take her down every night, We don’t let her touch the ground, And we fold her up right. On second thought I DO like to brag Cause I’m mighty proud of "That Ragged Old Flag"

	If tomorrow all the things were gone, I’d worked for all my life. And I had to start again, with just my children and my wife. I’d thank my lucky stars, to be livin here today. ‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can’t take that away. And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today. ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA. From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee. Across the plains of Texas, From sea to shining sea. From Detroit down to Houston, and New York to L.A. Well there's pride in every American heart, and its time we stand and say. That I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today. ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA. And I’m proud to be and American, where at least I know I’m free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today. ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

	"Oh lord I'm tired and sad and I want you oh so bad I've been away so very long now I want to go home. So remember that I love you that, my dear is true just say a prayer for your man." This letter's post-marked 'Vietnam' "Last night we had a fire fight machine guns firing tracers through the night and as we fought, my thoughts, they turned to you and I knew, somehow, darling I'll come through I've fought in many places and I've seen war's thousand faces but after this, my wars are through and I'll-I'll come home to you Even though I'm far away I'll think of you each day I'll come home when I can" This letter's post-marked 'Vietnam

	Revvin up your engine, listen to her howl an roar Metal under tension, beggin you to touch and go I went to the danger zone Right into the danger zone Headin into twilight, spreadin out her wings tonight She got you jumpin off the deck, shovin into overdrive I went to the danger zone Take it right into the danger zone You never say hello to you Until you get it on the red line overload You never know what you can do Until you get it up as high as you can go Out along the edges, always where I burn to be Further on the edge, hotter the intensity I went to the danger zone Gonna take it, Right into the danger zone I went to the danger zone Right into the danger zone I went to to the danger zone Gonna take it right into the danger zone I went to the danger zone Right into the danger zone I went to the danger zone Gonna take it right into the danger zone I went to the danger zone Right into the danger zone
