Born In The U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen

Born Down in a dead man's town
The First kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
Til' you spend half your life 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 hands
Send 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
Born in the USA

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said "son if it was up to m"
Went down to see my V.A. man
he said "son don't you understand?"

I 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 his arms now

Down in the shadows in the penitentary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm 10 years burning down the road
No where to run
Ain't got no where to go

Born in the USA
I was Born in the USA
I was Born In the USA
I'm a long gone daddy in the USA
I'm a cool rocking daddy in the USA
