Intro :
H arley didn't have no educ ation
H e could hardly read and wr ite
He was lo cked into a dead-end occup ation
H is future didn't look too b right
He worked 1 8 years on the as sembly line
J ust gettin' by with a little bit of o vertime
And t hat could be the end of the st ory of m ine
B ut it's just the begi nnin'
L ate one night while he was workin' gr aveyard
H arley got himself this big i dea
A ll he'd have to do is chan ge one little screw
And sa ve millions of dollars a y ear
So he wo rked and he saved 'til he could op en his own shop
M oney started rollin' in like it w asn't gonna stop
So H arley bought a mountain and b uilt a mansion on t op
So the los ers could see who was win ning
O nly in Americ a
With no thin' b ut a dre am
Only in Am erica
Where every man's a k ing
F irst Harley's daughter Janice found a g uru
S he gave him everything she ow ned
T hen Harley Junior joined some kind of r ock band
And wa lked around all day about half st oned
His w ife watched TV all the tim e 'cause she got bored
Th en one day she found a TV pr eacher she adored
And sh e gave all of Harley's hard-earned m oney to the L ord
H arley started drinkin' wound u p in Betty Fo rd
To s ee if he could buy a happy end ing
T hen some kid who worked in Harley's f actory
H e got himself this big id ea
F igured out how to do it with co mputers
Drove H arley out of business in a ye ar
Now H arley's back workin' the ass embly line
Ju st gettin' by with a little bit of o vertime
But do n't count Harley out 'cause he ai n't the quittin' k ind
H e stares at that computer with on e thing on his m ind
H ow to make them things more user fr iendly
I 've loved enough t o know
A h eartache when I see o ne coming
B een down this road befo re
I 've l oved enough t o know
