Woke up one morning,
coffee in hand
Read the paper,
couldn't understand
The world was calling,
a twist of fate
From my small town
to the highest gate
They said it couldn't happen,
but here we are
From backyard dreams to the
shining star
That was the time I became the president
Of these United States,
yeah it really went
From ordinary days to the oval desk A wild ride,
but I gave it my best (ooh
yeah)
Oval office mornings, decisions to make
Shaking hands, fixing mistakes
The weight of the world
on my shoulders now
But I kept my head high,
took a bow
That was the time I became the president
Of these United States,
yeah it really went
From ordinary days to the oval desk
A wild ride, but I gave it my best (yeah)
Late nights thinking
what it all means The people,
the promise, the American dreams
That was the time I became the president
Of these United States,
a story to tell
From small town roots
to the highest seat What a journey,
it can't be beat (ooh)
