written by Chick Rains and Michael Martin Murphy CAPO III INTRO: G G Em Harley didn't have no education C G D He could hardly read and write G Em He was locked into a dead-end occupation C D His future didn't look too bright C G He worked 18 years on the assembly line Em G Just gettin' by with a little bit of overtime C G Em And that could be the end of the story of mine C D But it's just the beginnin' G Em Late one night while he was workin' graveyard C G D Harley got himself this big idea G Em All he'd have to do is change one little screw C D And save millions of dollars a year C G So he worked and he saved 'til he could open his own shop Em G Money started rollin' in like it wasn't gonna stop C G Em So Harley bought a mountain and built a mansion on top C D So the losers could see who was winning CHORUS: G C G Only in America C D D/F#G With nothin' but a dream Em D Only in America G Where every man's a king G Em First Harley's daughter Janice found a guru C G D She gave him everything she owned G Em Then Harley Junior joined some kind of rock band C D And walked around all day about half stoned C G His wife watched TV all the time 'cause she got bored Em G Then one day she found a TV preacher she adored C G Em And she gave all of Harley's hard-earned money to the Lord C G Em Harley started drinkin' wound up in Betty Ford C D To see if he could buy a happy ending G Em Then some kid who worked in Harley's factory C G D He got himself this big idea G Em Figured out how to do it with computers C D Drove Harley out of business in a year C G Now Harley's back workin' the assembly line Em G Just gettin' by with a little bit of overtime C G Em But don't count Harley out 'cause he ain't the quittin' kind C G Em He stares at that computer with one thing on his mind C D How to make them things more user friendly CHORUS (2x) G out
