I was running through the backyard Strumming my dad's guitar And I felt like a rockstar When the world felt all so small When it's one in a million I thought that's enough for me I always thought I'm an American boy And I've got stars in my eyes Was told that I am the greatest Turns out I'm just like the rest I'm just one in a million And that ain't enough for me So when I grew up The world grew twice as fast And it's so easy to feel lost When it's a million to one I always thought I'm an American boy And I've got stars in my eyes Got told that I was the greatest Turns out I'm just like the rest Just another American boy Things to worry rolls around him He dreams of being a star So bright that everyone can see He's just one in a million Just so far away He's just one in a million But his dream will stay the same He's just one in a million Just so far away
