Born In The U.S.A.
Born down in a dead man's townThe first kick I took was when I hit the groundEnd up like a dog that's been beat too much'Til you spend half your life just to cover it up, now
Born in the U.S.A.I was born in the U.S.A.I was born in the U.S.A.Born in the U.S.A., now
Got in a little hometown jamSo they put a rifle in my handSend me off to a foreign landTo go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A.I was born in the U.S.A.Born in the U.S.A.I was born in the U.S.A.Born in the U.S.A.
Come back home to the refineryHiring man says, "son, if it was up to me"Went down to see my V.A. manHe said, "son, don't you understand, now?"
I had a brother at Khe Sahn, fighting off the VietcongThey're still there, he's all goneHe had a woman he loved in SaigonI got a picture of him in her arms, now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiaryOut by the gas fires of the refineryI'm ten years burning down the roadNowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A.I was born in the U.S.A., nowBorn in the U.S.A.I'm a long gone daddy in the U.S.A., now
Born in the U.S.A.Born in the U.S.A.Born in the U.S.A.I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A., now
