Born down in a dead man's town
|
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
|
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
|
Till you spend half your life just covering up
|
|
Born in the USA
|
I was born in the USA
|
I was born in the USA
|
Born in the USA
|
|
Got in a little hometown jam so they put a rifle in my hand
|
Sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the yellow man
|
|
Born in the USA
|
I was born in the USA
|
I was born in the USA
|
I was born in the USA
|
Born in the USA
|
|
Come back home to the refinery
|
Hiring man says "son if it was up to me"
|
Went down to see my V.A. man
|
He said "son don't you understand now"
|
|
Had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong
|
They're still there he's all gone
|
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
|
I got a picture of him in her arms now
|
|
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
|
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
|
I'm ten years burning down the road
|
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
|
|
Born in the USA
|
I was born in the USA
|
Born in the USA
|
I'm a long gone Daddy in the USA
|
Born in the USA
|
Born in the USA
|
Born in the USA
|
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the USA
|
