It Can Only Happen in America Songtext
von Denny Doherty

The sun didn′t shine this morning, so I stayed in my bed all day.
I would have liked to talk to my friends, but most of them moved away.
One went to Westport. (Connecticut)
Another went to Bangor, Maine.
There's two down in Florida.
The last one caught a plane.
Packed my bags with my boredom.
I′m storing all my memories from those other days.
I'm not looking for anything
Particular. I'll take whatever comes my way.
Getting over the notion that going
Through the motions was being alive.
Getting out of California. Travelling′s on my mind.
Can it happen? (Yes)
Can it happen? (Yes)
Can it happen? (Yes)


Can it happen?
It can only happen in America. It can only happen in the USA.
It can only happen in America. And it happens everyday.
The sun didn′t shine this morning, but at least I know I'm not in LA.
Got my call, got my songs together.
Most important got a place to play.
Getting over the notions. Untangled my emotions. I′m feeling alive.
And looking up is my new direction. I haven't had one for sometime.
It can only happen in America. It can only happen in the USA.
It can only happen in America.
It can happen. (Yes)
It can happen. (Yes)
It can only happen in America. It can only happen in the USA.
It can only happen in America.
It can happen.
And it happened. (Yes)
