LYRICS:

Got the law man

The con man

The liquor store man

Got the man at the premiere to "Spider-Man"

Got the old man calling on the young man

Got the soul man

Trying to keep a hold man

I seen the stars lookin in her eyes

So many times I tried

Seen a man who caught the rainbow's end

He claimed

That the pot of gold resided within

For a name in the U.S.A.

For a little bit of fame today

For a name in the world today

You want to fly high

You want to fly high

You want to fly

You want to fly

You want to fly high

For a name in the world today

For a little bit of fame today

For a name in the U.S.A.

You want to fly high

You want to fly high

You want to fly

You want to fly

You want to fly high

Got the this is your land man

This is my land man

Got the blood on the tracks man

Got the guilty man

Got the innocent man

Got the buffalo soldier

The dreadlock Rastaman

Seen the stars looking in her eyes

So many times I've tried

Talked to a man who caught the

rainbow's end he found

That the pot of gold resided within

For a name in the world today

For a little bit of fame today

For a name in the U.S.A.

You want to fly high

You want to fly high

You want to fly

You want to fly

For a name in the U.S.A.

For a little bit of fame today

For a name in the U.S.A.

You want to fly high

You want to fly high

You want to fly

You want to fly

You want to fly high
